| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Nero facing left, rendered with characteristic fleshy features and elaborately curled hair typical of his later portraiture; a small globe is visible at the truncation of the neck, symbolizing imperial dominion over the world. The effigy is executed in high relief with a naturalistic yet idealized treatment of the emperor's physiognomy. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the outer rim of the flan, encircling the portrait. |
