Commentary


Si cet exemplaire est quasiment muet en ce qui concerne l'épigraphie, il permet de préciser le casque du droit dont le cimier semble être constitué d'esses et l'animal sous le cheval du revers. Depuis le XIXe siècle, cet animal est décrit comme étant un poisson ; ce poisson est très proche de celui des deniers SOLIMA.
Although this example is almost silent regarding epigraphy, it allows us to specify the helmet on the obverse, whose crest seems to be made up of esses, and the animal under the horse on the reverse. Since the 19th century, this animal has been described as a fish; this fish is very close to that of the SOLIMA denarii.
