A new account of the role of coinage in the finances and economy of the Roman Empire.
The author, maintaining the same structure that has characterized the first volume, proposes the whole Nero's lifetime through his monetary iconography. The text opens with a brief introduction, followed by the biography of the "August", however seen in a new light: the intention is to rehabilitate, at least in part, the name of this emperor. Among the most interesting chapters we report:• the portraits and descriptions of relatives and wives who accompanied him during his whole existence;• some of the major architecture buildings that the emperor authorized the construction: the port of Ostia, the "Macellum Magnum", the Temple of Janus, etc; • some particular historical curiosities as the "Congiarium", the "Decursio" and the games called "Neronia";• a series of impressive numismatic portraits dedicated to him, as well as a brief overview of the coinage of the Roman provinces.• a legend that includes a brief method of reading an ancient Roman coin as well as a glossary with the meanings of the major imperial titles.At the end, a glossary of the main numismatic terms and the meanings of the various imperial titles and a special insert of the the entire Julio-Claudian dynasty.
