| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P P P (Translation: Imperator Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator) Nero Claudius Caesar, emperor (Augustus), victor over the Germans, high priest, tribunician power, father of the country.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Roma is depicted seated left upon a cuirass, wearing a helmet and military dress, her right hand extending forward to hold a small Victory figure, while her left hand rests upon a parazonium. Behind the cuirass, two round shields and one oblong shield are arranged in the field, underscoring the martial iconography of the type. The composition conveys Roman military prowess and the divine protection of the city. The legend ROMA appears in the field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C flanking the central design. The scene is rendered with the bold, confident engraving characteristic of Neronian sestertii struck at Rome. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nero's sestertii from this period were struck as the emperor embarked on an aggressive building program following the Great Fire of 64 AD, which destroyed much of Rome and gave him the pretext — or opportunity, depending on one's reading of Tacitus — to rebuild the city along grander lines. The mint output surged to fund reconstruction and the vast expenditure of the Domus Aurea.
RIC 329 falls within a sequence issued from the Rome mint during the latter half of Nero's reign, when his coinage achieved some of the finest bronze work of the early imperial period. The broad, flat flan was a deliberate policy choice under Nero, maximizing die impression quality.
