Green patina. VF. This Dupondius, one of the most famous architectural types in 1st century coinage, shows us the facade of the Macellum Magnum, the great marketplace built by Nero on the Caelian Hill, the work of architects Severus and Celer, completed in 59 AD. The monumental two-story building, topped by a dome just slightly smaller than that of the Pantheon, was the largest commercial center in the Roman world and housed an abattoir, outlets selling live and slaughtered livestock, fish, basic necessities and luxury goods, tabernae, bankers' and money changers' stores as well as a votive shrine dedicated to Ceres. Its location seems to correspond to that of the church of St. Stephen Rotundus, which would have been erected on the remains of its foundations by Pope Simplicius in the second half of the 5th century.

Commodus as Hercules

Disdaining the more philosophic inclinations of his father, Commodus was extremely proud of his physical prowess. He ordered many statues to be made showing him dressed as Hercules with a lion's hide and a club. He thought of himself as the reincarnation of Hercules, frequently emulating the legendary hero's feats by appearing in the arena to fight a variety of wild animals. Moreover, as Hercules, he could claim to be the son of Jupiter, the supreme god of the Roman pantheon. These tendencies increased to megalomaniacal proportions.
