Aurei were gold coins used in the Roman Empire. During Nero's reign (54–68 AD), aurei were minted with his portrait and symbols of imperial power.
These aurei typically feature:
Nero's portrait on the obverse.
Symbolic elements of power, such as the diadem, crown, or the emperor's initials.
A reverse that may depict themes such as victory, chieftains, or deities.
Historical value: They reflect the economy, imperial propaganda, and the legitimization of Nero's power vis-à-vis the aristocracy and the Senate.
