Marcus Cocceius Nerva 96 AD
The brief reign of Marcus Cocceius Nerva was one of the most important of the early Empire. He began the practice of adopting his heir rather than choosing a blood-relative. By doing so he ensured that the best man became emperor. His reign marked the beginning of the so-called 'Golden Age' of the Roman Empire in the late first and early second centuries AD.
The silver denarius we have shown can be dated to 98 AD, the last year of his reign, by the obverse legend ...TR P II COS III...
Its reverse design shows two hands shaking in front of a legionary standard (not a kekab), and the legend CONCORDIA EXERCITUM, meaning harmony and common interest between the emperor and the army.
The obverse has the head of Nerva facing right, and the legend IMP NERVA CAES AUG PM TRP II COS III PP.
