Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 99 coins de droit et de 110 coins de revers. Ce type est en fait plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 99 obverse dies and 110 reverse dies. This type is actually rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background


HOSTILIA

(48 BC)

Lucius Hostilius Saserna is from Cremona in Cisalpine Gaul. He owes his career to Julius Caesar, whom he followed throughout the Gallic Wars (58-50 BC). In the fratricidal struggle between Caesarians and Pompeians, he remains faithful to Caesar and participates in the siege of Marseilles. He served in Africa and is mentioned by Cicero as a friend of Antony and Octave.
