Nero: 5th Roman Emperor (54-68 AD). Nero was adopted by the Emperor Claudius after Claudius married Nero's mother Agrippina the Younger. He initially was popular with the Praetorian Guard and the lower-class commoners, but detested by the Roman aristocracy.
He was described as tyrannical, self-indulgent and debauched and he committed suicide after being declared a public enemy by the Roman Senate.

The Boudican Revolt (60-61 AD) and the first Jewish-Roman War (66-73 AD) took place during Nero's reign.

The sestertius was the large brass denomination of the Roman imperial coinage, usually weighing around 25–28 grams and measuring 30–35 mm in diameter. Its broad flan gave engravers ample space for some of the finest imperial portraits and most elaborate reverse designs in Roman numismatics.
