About This Item

Roman Coin

Roman Sestertius
This coin is a replica of a roman coin called a Sestertius that I bought as a souvenir of a visit to the Roman Baths in the village of Welwyn in England. The original bronze coin was minted during the reign of the emperor Nero in 65 AD in the roman town Lugdunum in France. Lugdunum (modern: Lyon, France) was an important Roman city in Gaul. The imperial mint established a branch in 15 BC, during the reign of Augustus, and produced coinage for the next three centuries.

The inscription on the coins is NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P which I think means “Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus …”  (translation welcome) with DECVRSIO “a military exercise” on the back showing Nero riding right on horseback holding a spear, behind him rides a soldier carrying a vexillum over his shoulder
