Notes
Commemorates the closing of the doors of the Temple of Janus in Rome after Nero's victory over the Parthians in 63 AD, as the legend declares: "He closed Janus after imparting peace on land and sea to the Roman people." On the bronze coins commemorating the same event, one side of the temple is also shown and the legend ends rather than beginning with IANVM CLVSIT
