Nero. Sestertius; Nero; 54-68 AD, Rome, 65-6 AD, Sestertius, 22.07g. BM-158, Paris-371, RIC-264, C-145/6 (4 Fr.). Obv: [NERO] CLAVD CAESAR AVG - GER P M TR [P IMP P P] Bust laureate r., possibly with [fold of aegis] on front shoulder. Rx: PACE P R TE[RRA MARIQ P]ARTA IANVM CLVSIT S - C Temple of the Twin Janus (Ianus Geminus) near the Roman Forum, closed double doors at r., latticed window on side wall. Ex CNG 35, 20 September 1995, lot 741. Unusual with the legend break above Nero's portrait. The mint might also have been Lugdunum, if there was originally a globe below Nero's neck. The reverse legend forms a complete sentence: "Since peace has been established for the Roman people on land and sea, he closed the temple of Janus." The legend first appears on aurei in 64 AD, so the closure of the temple apparently took place immediately after Corbulo's settlement with the Parthians in the preceding year, 63 AD.Some light porosity on obverse.
