Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 393 coins de droit et de 491 coins de revers. C’est l’un des deniers les plus courants pour la période ; entre huit cent mille et un million deux cent mille pourraient avoir été frappés d’après l’estimation du nombre de coins. Le nom du magistrat s’écrit Fouria, pour Furia. Pour Simone Scheers, ce type pourrait constituer le prototype du monnayage suession (LT. 8106) à la tête janiforme et au lion. Au revers, les attributs sont gaulois : boucliers, casque, cuirasse, deux carnyx et peut-être une enseigne.

On the reverse, the attributes are Gallic: shields, helmet, breastplate, two carnyxes and perhaps an ensign

Historical background
FURIA
(119 BC)
The gens Furia (also written Fouria on coins) is one of the oldest patrician houses in Rome. Its members often hold high offices, such as the consulate. It is possible that the moneyer was the son of Lucius Furius Philus, consul in 136 BC.
