Commentary


Avec ces petits jetons distribués à la foule lors du mariage, l'Empereur retrouvait l'usage romain des quinaires, monnaies de format et de poids réduits qui servaient très probablement lors des donativa. On notera que la gravure de celui-ci est tellement fine et respectueuse de la subtilité des tissus antiques que l’on remarque sans peine, à la loupe, le nombril de l’impératrice sous le tissu arachnéen. Ce jeton existe en deux frappes, avec ou sans virole.
With these small tokens distributed to the crowd at the wedding, the Emperor rediscovered the Roman use of quinarius, coins of reduced size and weight that were most likely used during the donativa. It should be noted that the engraving of this one is so fine and respectful of the subtlety of ancient fabrics that one can easily see, with a magnifying glass, the navel of the Empress under the spidery fabric. This token exists in two strikes, with or without a ferrule

Historical background


LOVE AND MARRIAGE

It was customary in the past to give a treizain during the wedding mass. This treizain was blessed and signified entry into a community of property for the married couple. The treizain, which later became a medal or wedding token, was so called in honor of Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles. This practice continued until the first half of the 20th century. The reference work on the subject is the work of Jules Florange, Love and marriage in numismatics, Moulins, 1936 now replaced by that of Henri Térisse, La Numismatique du Mariage, Argenton-sur-Creuse 2008.
