Commentary


Poids lourd. Deux contremarques au droit, sur la joue et dans la champ. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à trente coins de droit et inférieure à trente-trois coins pour le revers. Ce denier est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux. Dans les trésors, seules neuf pièces ont été relevées provenant des dépôts de Casaleone (1 ex.), de San Giulamo (1 ex.), d’Alvignano (4 ex.), d’Avvetrana (2 ex.) et de Gallignano (1 ex.).
Heavyweight. Two countermarks on the obverse, on the cheek and in the field. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of less than thirty dies on the obverse and less than thirty-three dies for the reverse. This denarius is in fact much rarer than general works suggest. In the hoards, only nine pieces were found from the deposits of Casaleone (1 ex.), San Giulamo (1 ex.), Alvignano (4 ex.), Avvetrana (2 ex.) and Gallignano (1 ex.)

Historical background


CORNELIA

(56 BC)

The Cornelia gens is an important patrician family of Rome. Faustus is a faithful ally of Pompey. After Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC, he follows his father-in-law to Greece and is one of his loyal lieutenants. After Pharsalus (48 AC.), he joined the Pompeian forces in Africa and was defeated by Caesar at Thapsus where Cato the Younger was killed. Faustus flees with Juba, king of Mauretania, is captured alive, but put to death by the troops. Caesar spares his wife and children.
