Suetonius recounts that "Nero was born in Anzio, nine months after the death of Tiberius, on the 18th of the Kalends of January at sunrise." The last emperor of the Julio-Claudia dynasty and one of the Roman emperors with the worst "press" in the entire history of the Empire. Persecutions of Christians, the burning of Rome in 64 AD, various murders, including that of his British brother or his mother Agrippina, are some of the accusations that history has traditionally thrown at him. Good cause of this fame comes from the writings of contemporary and / or later historians such as the aforementioned Suetonius, Tacitus or Dion Cassius who presented the emperor as a true tyrant. It should be noted that this traditional and simple interpretation has been and is currently being questioned, or at least there is a current that also presents us with another aspect of the figure of the emperor, that of a leader loved by the popular classes, concerned for culture, the arts or sporting events.
From a strictly economic or numismatic point of view, under the government of Nero an important monetary reform was carried out in 64 AD that had the objective of expanding the nominal supply of money to avoid the insolvency of the State. Basically, its reform focused on reducing the theoretical weight of both the aureus and the denarius, as well as the purity of the latter, and putting the subsidiary denominations in orichalcum into circulation. This last measure was abandoned a short time later since this type of coin was never accepted by the people, but the first two remained and survived through the years.
Regarding the style of the portraits coined in the different pieces, these evolve, in a clear process of artistic realism, from that of a young man, already obese, and laureate with a civic crown, to that of an adult with harsh features in recent years. of reign

Despite his short term, he was only Roman emperor for two years, between 79 and 81 AD, and under it, several calamities occurred that have gone down in history, such as the eruption of Vesuvius and the great fire that devastated Rome. , the truth is that he is an emperor whom historiography has always treated well: of great kindness and generosity, he enjoyed enormous popularity, among other things, for the reconstruction work he carried out in devastated Rome. Regarding his numismatics, in a first stage the portrait follows the line of his predecessor, Vespasian, but later the features seem to soften somewhat, although within a realism that does not forgive, for example, the certain forcefulness of his physique.
