Commentary


G. de Loye dans son étude a répertorié 1.101 exemplaires des monnayages de Vienne, Lyon, Orange, Narbonne et Nîmes dans les grandes collections du Sud-est de la France. Avec vingt-et-un exemplaires, l’atelier d’Orange ne représente que moins de 2% du total. La plupart des exemplaires illustrés aux pages 364-366 montrent souvent des exemplaires frustes, mal conservés.
G. de Loye in his study listed 1,101 examples of coins from Vienne, Lyon, Orange, Narbonne and Nîmes in the large collections in the South-East of France. With twenty-one examples, the Orange workshop only represents less than 2% of the total. Most of the examples illustrated on pages 364-366 often show crude, poorly preserved examples.

Historical background


ARAUSIO - ORANGE - OCTAVIAN and AGRIPPA

(c. 28-27 BC)

Orange, "Colonia Firma Iulia Secundanorum Arausio", was founded in 35 BC by veterans of the "II Legio Gallica", whose emblem is a ram's head on a shield. The latter is found in the center of the reverse of the dupondii attributed to the city.
