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.
