Commentary

Cette série était datée entre 88 et 43 avant J.-C. précédemment . En réalité, elle est frappé plus tardivement au moment du conflit qui se profile entre Octave et Marc Antoine.
This series was previously dated between 88 and 43 BC. In reality, it was struck later, at the time of the looming conflict between Octavian and Marc Antony.
