| Reverse description | The tetrastyle Temple of Janus depicted in three-quarter perspective, its twin arched double doors closed to the left and a latticed rectangular window to the right, commemorating Nero's declaration of peace throughout the Roman world. A garland is hung across the front door, a detail known in numismatic literature as the 'terra door' motif. The architectural rendering shows the temple's tiled roof and plain entablature in the simplified, schematic style typical of Neronian bronze coinage. The legend is distributed around the periphery, with the senatorial authority mark S C prominently placed in the exergue or field. |
