Commentary


Poids léger. Fourré ? Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente coins de droit et de trente coins de revers. Ce denier est beaucoup plus rare que ne semblent l’indiquer les ouvrages généraux. Dans les trésors, seules dix pièces ont été relevées provenant des dépôts de San Giulamo (1 ex.), d’Alvignano (3 ex.), d’Avvetrana (1 ex.), de Maillé (2 ex.), de Galignano (1 ex.) et de Terranova (2 ex.).
Light weight. Filled? For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty obverse dies and thirty reverse dies. This denarius is much rarer than general works seem to indicate. In the hoards, only ten pieces have been noted from the deposits of San Giulamo (1 ex.), Alvignano (3 ex.), Avvetrana (1 ex.), Maillé (2 ex.), Galignano (1 ex.) and Terranova (2 ex.)

Historical background


CLAUDIA

(50 BC)

Adopted by a Cornelius Lentulus, Marcellinus belongs to the gens Cornelia, but his cognomen recalls his filiation with the gens Claudia. Today, it seems certain that Marcellinus is the quaestor of 48 BC and not the consul of 18 BC. On the other hand, he could be the father of this consul. Cnæus Marcellinus, consul in 56 BC could be the father of our coinage. It was he who restored Ptolemy XII to the throne in 55 BC. Having violently opposed Pompey, Marcellinus father and son seem to have rallied to Caesar, allowing Publius to obtain the quaestorship for the year 48 with his cousin Marcus Claudius Marcellus Æserninis, consul in 22 BC. He received from Caesar the command of the ninth legion at Dyrrachium, but was killed by being beaten by Pompey.
