The Preterist view has it:

The "mark of the beast," particularly the number 666, is frequently interpreted in the context of the Roman Empire, often associated with Emperor Nero. A common preterist view, focusing on historical events, interprets this mark as the image of the emperor on coins, required for trade.
Here's a more detailed breakdown

Interpretation of the Beast:
[COLOR=var(--m3c10)]The "beast" in Revelation 13 is often identified with the Roman Empire, and the "mark of the beast" is seen as a symbol of Roman authority and control.

Number 666 and Nero:
The number 666, or DCLXVI in Roman numerals, is associated with Nero. Some believe this number is a coded name for Nero, suggesting a connection to the beast in Revelation.

Preterist View:
Preterists, who interpret Revelation as historical events, see the "mark of the beast" as the emperor's head stamped on every coin, a mandatory identifier for commerce. - AI Overview.
