The 64AD-66AD Sestertius - Nero

Military manoeuvrers are often shown on Roman Coins. This coin is an AE (Brass/Bronze) Sestertius of Emperor Nero, struck at the Rome Mint between 64AD and 66AD. The Reverse shows Nero  on horseback with another soldier. Text on coin is "DECURSIO" which means 'military manoeuvrer'.

Diameter 35mm weighing 25.14g.

The Obverse shows the laureate bust of Nero facing left. Legend is "NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P".

The Reverse shows Nero  on horseback, the horse prancing. Nero is carrying a spear accompanied by another soldier on horseback who carries a vexillum (a military standard or banner). Text on coin is "DECURSIO" (meaning a military manoeuvrer) in the exergue, with "S C" across. SC means senatus consultum, or 'by decree of the Senate' so the coin was an official issue.
