Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de vingt coins de droit et de vingt-cinq coins de revers. Ce denier est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent apparaître les différents ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of twenty obverse dies and twenty-five reverse dies. This denier is in fact much rarer than the various general works suggest.

Historical background
DOMITIA
(189-180 BC.)
The years that followed the end of the Second Punic War are sometimes poorly understood. They are marked by the conflict between Rome and Antiochus III the Great, king of Syria (223-187 AC.) and Philip V of Macedonia. Antiochus suffered several checks in Greece at Thermopylae and at sea at Corcyra before being crushed at Magnesia (190 AC.). The war spread to the whole of the East. In Italy, after their victory over the Boii, Plaisance and Cremona were repopulated by Roman settlers. In 189 BC, the Roman colony of Bononia (Bologna) was founded.
