This type was struck to mark Nero's escape from the Pisonian Conspiracy, named for a nobleman named Piso. The would-be assassin took a sacred dagger from the Temple of Salus in Ferentum, but was betrayed, with the dagger presented as evidence to Nero. He inscribed it, and dedicated it to Jupiter, the Protector. Dozens of Rome's elite were accused, including Senators, and several women. Most were executed or banished, and a few committed suicide. Among those who lost their lives were Piso, the Praetorian Prefect Fufus, and the illustrious Seneca. Jupiter is shown as the Emperor's protector. Struck 67-68 A.D., nice VF, RSC 121, RIC 46, RCV 1943, (3.5 gm.). The sixth of the so-called Twelve Caesars, Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. was adopted at age 13 by the widowed Claudius, at the urging of his new wife (Nero's pushy mother, Agrippina). Nero succeeded to the throne when Claudius died since he was older than Claudius' own son Britannicus. At 17, he became Rome's youngest ruler ever, at first guided by his mother and advisors. Although he ruled wisely at first, within a few years Nero had cast all that away (and had his mother killed). He later became unpopular with the Senate, and after revolts erupted in the provinces, he was sentenced to death. Nero chose to stab himself in the throat with a dagger.
