Nero, as Augustus (AD 54-68). AE sestertius (35mm, 28.16 gm, 6h). NGC VF 5/5 - 2/5, Fine Style. Rome, ca. AD 64. NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P, laureate bust of Nero right, aegis on left shoulder / Triumphal arch, garland hung across opening, surmounted by the emperor in facing quadriga accompanied by Pax and Victory, flanked by two soldiers; statue of Mars standing facing in side niche, S-C across fields. RIC I 145. Boldly struck from Fine Style high relief dies.
Sear Millennium 1962 describes this arch as 'one decreed by the Senate in AD 58 to commemorate the Eastern victory of Cn. Domitius Corbulo and located on Capitoline Hill, but its exact site is uncertain'. Unfortunately, this arch no longer exists. Nero had him executed because he felt threatened by the general's great popularity, and the fear that this act caused within the military leadership in part lead to its disaffection with the regime and eventual revolt.
