| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Arch of Nero (Arcus Neronis), rendered in a detailed architectural elevation showing a triple-arched triumphal gateway surmounted by a columned attic storey. Statuary figures, identifiable in the type as Mars, Pax, and Victory, occupy the attic register above the central arch. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the structure to left and right in the field, a standard feature on Imperial aes coinage affirming the Senate's authority over base-metal issues. The overall design celebrates Nero's military and diplomatic achievements through monumental architectural imagery. |
