Commentary
Poids extrêmement léger. Fourré. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 63 coins de droit et de 70 coins de revers. Ce denier n'a pas été copié ou imité par les Gaulois. Il se rapporte néanmoins à la Guerre des Gaules et à l'un de ses acteurs. Publius est le fils cadet de Crassus et le frère de Marcus Licinius Crassus qui succéda à Publius, comme lieutenant de César, en tant que questeur. Publius Licinius Crassus avait participé à la campagne contre les Germains d'Arioviste en 58 avant J.-C. et à la soumission des tribus de l'Armorique l'année suivante avant de mener une brillante campagne en Aquitaine. Rentré à Rome en 56 avant J.-C., il trouva la mort en combattant les Parthes avec son père. Il est plusieurs fois cité dans le De Bello Gallico, dans les trois premiers livres : I, 52 ; II, 34 ; III, 7, 8, 9, 11, 20 à 27.
Extremely light weight. Furred. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 63 obverse dies and 70 reverse dies. This denarius was not copied or imitated by the Gauls. It nevertheless relates to the Gallic Wars and one of its actors. Publius is the younger son of Crassus and the brother of Marcus Licinius Crassus who succeeded Publius, as Caesar's lieutenant, as quaestor. Publius Licinius Crassus had participated in the campaign against the Germans of Ariovistus in 58 BC and in the subjugation of the tribes of Armorica the following year before leading a brilliant campaign in Aquitaine. Returning to Rome in 56 BC, he met his death fighting the Parthians with his father. He is mentioned several times in De Bello Gallico, in the first three books: I, 52; II, 34; III, 7, 8, 9, 11, 20 to 27
