Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 71 coins de droit et de 89 coins de revers. Ce denier est un faux ami. Bien que traditionnellement attribué à Cneius Domitius Ahenobarbus, l’un des fondateurs de Narbonne, il ne peut en aucun cas faire référence à la guerre qui opposa les Romains à la coalition arverne, conduite par leur roi, Bituit, et qui fut finalement écrasée en 121 avant J.-C. après trois ans de guerre. En effet, daté avec certitude de 128, il ne peut faire référence à un événement de sept ans postérieur.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 71 obverse dies and 89 reverse dies. This denarius is a false friend. Although traditionally attributed to Cneius Domitius Ahenobarbus, one of the founders of Narbonne, it can in no way refer to the war that pitted the Romans against the Arverni coalition, led by their king, Bituitus, and which was finally crushed in 121 BC after three years of war. Indeed, dated with certainty to 128, it cannot refer to an event seven years later
