Nero, 13 October 54 - 9 June 68 A.D.
|Nero|, |Nero,| |13| |October| |54| |-| |9| |June| |68| |A.D.|, Under Nero, the mint produced these brass asses on a weight standard of one half a dupondius. The letter I denotes one as, while II appears on dupondii equal to two asses and S appears on the semisses. This experiment with brass as was not continued by his successors, though some issued 3g brass semisses and Trajan and Hadrian produced brass 4g 1/3 dupondii and 8g 2/3 dupondii in the East.
