| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a frontal view of the Temple of Janus, a rectangular single-storey structure with a prominent arched central doorway flanked by pilasters and surmounted by a latticed or grilled upper section, the doors shown closed to symbolise universal peace. The architectural rendering is detailed, showing the closed double doors adorned with circular studs and the structure's colonnade or pilastered facade. The senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is divided across the field, with S to the left and C to the right of the temple. The surrounding legend encircles the design along the rim, commemorating Nero's closing of the gates of the Janus temple following the establishment of peace by the Roman people on land and sea. |
