In 66–67 AD, Nero’s reign blended cultural indulgence with escalating crises. While celebrating a diplomatic victory by crowning Tiridates I as Armenia’s king and issuing coins like silver denarii to project stability, Nero faced the Jewish Revolt in Judea, prompting him to appoint Vespasian to crush it. His extended Greek tour saw him win 1,808 festival prizes, perform as an artist, and marry Sporus, scandalizing Roman elites. Economic strain from debasing coinage and funding Rome’s reconstruction, coupled with purges like Corbulo’s execution and a grain shortage, fueled unrest. Nero’s coinage, sharing Hellenistic influences with Azes I/II’s bilingual issues, circulated in trade networks tied to biblical narratives, where his role in the Temple’s plundering earned him an early Antichrist reputation.
