| Beschrijving keerzijde | The winged goddess Victoria is depicted striding left across the field, rendered as a graceful draped figure with large outstretched wings swept back behind her. She extends her right arm forward, offering a wreath, while her left hand holds a long palm branch angled across her body; her garments billow dramatically behind her in a flowing manner. The figure is positioned centrally within the coin's field, framed by the encircling legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI divided on either side. A beaded border runs along the outer rim. The reverse is struck on a broad flan characteristic of Neronian aes coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nero's VICTORIA AVGVSTI dupondii were struck in the context of Roman military campaigns in Armenia and Britain — the former a grinding proxy war with Parthia that ended in the compromise settlement of 63 AD, the latter the suppression of Boudicca's revolt in 60-61 AD. Both were pitched to Roman audiences as victories, however qualified each actually was.
RIC I 116 belongs to the Lugdunum series, distinguishable from the Rome mint output by subtle differences in fabric and style that specialists continue to debate. Nero closed the Lugdunum mint around 68 AD, shortly before his suicide.
