“I see that there is also a legend around the edge of this side. Could you read it out for us?” Alex asked Sophia. “Sure, it reads NERONI CLAVD DIVI F CAES AVG GERM IMP TR P. this means ‘Nero, Son of the Deified Claudius, Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Tribune of the Roman people.’ After Claudius died, he was officially made into a god by the senate. Nero could therefore officially call himself the son of a god - a powerful statement to be made! Notice further how the legend does not call Nero an emperor. Instead he is referred to as Caesar Augustus, which were the actual titles of the Roman emperors.”
