Nerva. AD 96-98. Æ Sestertius (34mm, 26.16 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 97. Laureate head right / Two mules grazing, one left, one right; behind, high-wheeled cart, with pole and harness (collars and traces), tipped up and pointing slightly to right. RIC II 93; Banti 44. Brown patina, corrosion, pitting, flan crack. Fine.

Nerva attempted to relieve some of the burdens that had been imposed on the people of Italy by his predecessor, Domitian. One of his acts was the assumption of the costs of the imperial post by the Roman government, a burden which had formerly fallen on the municipalities. Though this event is celebrated on this coin, no contemporary writers mention the act.
