Commentary

Pour Aélius, nous ne pouvons pas distinguer les dupondius des as car le César est toujours tête nue. Cependant d’après le poids et le module, nous pouvons imaginer que notre exemplaire est bien un dupondius (13,09 g) plutôt qu’un as.
For Aelius, we cannot distinguish the dupondius from the aces because the Caesar is always bareheaded. However, based on the weight and the module, we can imagine that our example is indeed a dupondius (13.09 g) rather than an ace.
