Coin (obverse), Denarius, of Nero (under Claudius)This silver coin was minted in Rome by Nero, the step-son and heir of the emperor Claudius, between 50 and 54 AD. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the obverse of the coin. The obverse has the bare head of Nero looking to the right. The legend 'NERO CLAVD CAES DRVSVS GERM PRINC IVVENT' identifies Nero and his title of Princeps Iuventutis, which showed his official status as heir apparent. The emperor Claudius married his niece Agrippina in 49 AD, and was persuaded to name her son Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus as heir over his own son. Lucius took the name Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus on his adoption, as noted on this coin. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
