Commentary
Poids léger. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de vingt-deux coins de droit et de vingt-quatre coins de revers. Ce type de denier est beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of twenty-two right dies and twenty-four reverse dies. This type of denarius is much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
CRITONIA
(86 BC)
Lucius Cornelius Cinna and Caius Marius were consuls in 86 BC. Marius was consul for the seventh time when he died in January and was succeeded by Lucius Valerius Flaccus. Cinna will also be consul without interruption from 87 to 84 before being assassinated. Sylla takes Athens and, after the battles of Chaeronea and Orchomene, signs the peace of Dardanus with Mithridates VI of Pontus (120-63 BC). Nicomedes IV of Bithynia (94-74 BC) and Ariobarzanes I of Cappadocia (95-63 BC) are restored. Catullus and Sallust were both born in 86 BC.
