Commentary


Ce type ne semble pas rogné, les légendes sont complètes, le diamètre de 19 mm est cohérent pour une monnaie divisionnaire. Le style du revers semble bon et nous ne sommes pas en présence d’une imitation ? La seule explication plausible serait que nous avons affaire à une demi maiorina de l’atelier de Lyon. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. De la plus grande rareté.
This type does not appear to be trimmed, the legends are complete, the diameter of 19 mm is consistent for a divisional coin. The reverse style looks good and we are not looking at an imitation? The only plausible explanation would be that we are dealing with half a maiorina from the Lyon workshop. Seems completely new and unrecorded. Missing from all the works consulted. Of the greatest rarity

Historical background


MAGNENTIUS

(01/18/350-08/10/353)

Magnentius was proclaimed on January 18, 350 thanks to his speed and significant diplomatic activity which allowed him to seize Brittany, Gaul, Italy and part of the Balkans. However, he failed to gain recognition from Constantius II. Magnentius suffered a severe defeat at Mursa in September 351. Forced to retreat, he lost Italy the following year before seeing Gaul invaded by the generals of Constance. Beaten at Mount Seleucus near Gap, he committed suicide in Lyon on August 10, 353.
