This image depicts two sides of an ancient Roman coin, likely made of bronze or copper alloy, as indicated by its patina and color.

  1. Obverse (left side):

    • The coin features a profile portrait of Emperor Nero, facing right.
    • Nero is shown wearing a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory and divine status.
    • Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in Latin, which reads "NERO CAESAR AVG GERM," referring to Nero Caesar Augustus Germanicus.
  2. Reverse (right side):

    • The reverse side depicts a seated figure, likely the goddess Roma (a personification of Rome), wearing armor and holding a scepter or spear in one hand while extending the other, possibly holding a smaller object like a statuette.
    • Around the image are the letters "S C" (Senatus Consulto) indicating Senate approval for the minting of the coin, a typical feature of Roman currency.
    • Below the figure is the inscription "ROMA," confirming the depiction of the goddess and the association with Rome.

The scale marker on the far-right suggests the coin's size is relatively small, common for Roman currency. The coin likely dates from the reign of Nero (54–68 CE). It serves as an artifact of his rule and Roman iconography.

The image displays two ancient bronze coins, each showing distinct features typical of Roman currency from the Imperial period. The coin on the left is a sestertius featuring the profile portrait of a Roman emperor. The emperor's head is depicted with a laurel wreath, indicating divinity or high status. The inscription "IMP CAES M AVR ANT DIV" suggests the emperor's name and titles, likely Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, a significant figure in Roman history.

The coin on the right is a dupondius with an image of a seated figure, possibly representing the goddess Roma. Roma is often depicted seated, holding a shield and a spear, symbolizing the strength and stability of the Roman Empire. The inscription "ROMA" beneath the figure confirms this interpretation. The coin also bears the letters "S C" (Senatus Consulto), indicating it was issued under the authority of the Roman Senate.

Both coins exhibit signs of wear and oxidation, typical of their age, and are placed against a black background with a ruler in the upper right corner for scale. The coins are likely from the late 2nd to early 3rd century AD, reflecting the artistic and numismatic practices of the Roman Empire during that era.
