Silver pendant with Roman coin of Nero

Nero, the fifth Roman Emperor reigned from 54-68 AD was adopted by Emperor Claudius at the age of 13 and later married Claudius' daughter Claudia Octavia. After the death of his mother Agrippina Nero's conduct became more egregious. Popular legend has Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, but this is probably later propaganda. Nero did accuse the Christians of starting the fire and many Christians were arrested and executed. In 60-61 AD the Iceni tribe started a revolt after the daughters of Queen Boudica were raped.

Victory: personification of victory (Greek goddess Nike). She was often associated with Jupiter, Mars, and other deities and was especially worshipped by the army.

SPQR: Latin abbreviation for Senātus Populusque Rōmānus (the Senate and people of Rome).
