Commentary
Poids léger. Petit plumet. Casque clouté et décoré, cantonné de deux étoiles à six rais ou de deux chrismes primitifs. Cuirasse lisse. Ptéryges larges. Sur le casque, nous décrivions le casque “orné des étoiles des Dioscures”. En réalité, il faut plutôt y voir les premiers signes chrétiens du chrisme simplifié. Avec cette nouvelle hypothèse, nous sommes en présence des premiers signes chrétiens sur les monnaies de cuivre saucé trois ans après le médaillon de Ticinum (RIC 36) où le casque est orné d’un chrisme frontal sur le casque. Bouclier orné d’un cavalier galopant à droite terrassant un ennemi.
Lightweight. Small plume. Studded and decorated helmet, flanked by two six-pointed stars or two primitive chrisms. Smooth breastplate. Wide pteryges. On the helmet, we described the helmet “adorned with the stars of the Dioscuri.” In reality, we should rather see the first Christian signs of the simplified chrism. With this new hypothesis, we are in the presence of the first Christian signs on the sauced copper coins three years after the medallion of Ticinum (RIC 36) where the helmet is decorated with a frontal chrism on the helmet. Shield decorated with a horseman galloping to the right overcoming an enemy
