Beschrijving keerzijde Architectural facade of the Temple of Janus Geminus depicted in three-quarter perspective, showing a rectangular building with a latticed or barred window on the left side and arched double doors on the right, draped with a garland hung across the closed doorway — signifying that the gates of Janus are shut, indicating peace throughout the Roman world. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, one letter on each side of the temple. The surrounding legend proclaims the closure of the temple in celebration of peace on land and sea.

Aanvullende informatie

Nero closed the Temple of Janus three times during his reign — the doors were shut only when Rome was at complete peace, an event so rare it had occurred just twice in the preceding seven centuries. The legend on this coin commemorates that act directly, advertising a peace achieved by land and sea. Whether the closure was politically genuine or imperial theater remains debated; the Parthian situation in 63 AD had barely stabilized when the announcement was made.
