| Lot description: Nero. Sestertius; Nero; 54-68 AD, Rome, 65-6 AD, Sestertius, 27.96g. BM-158, Paris-371, RIC-264, C-146 (4 Fr.). Obv: NERO CLAVD CAESAR AV - G GER P M TR P IMP [P P] Head laureate r. Rx: PACE P R TERRA MARIQ PARTA IAN[VM CL]VSIT S - C Temple of the Twin Janus (Ianus Geminus) near the Roman Forum, closed double doors at r., latticed window on side wall. 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..
