Commentary
Pour ce type M. Crawford a relevé une estimation inférieure à trente coins pour le droit et à trente-coins pour le revers. Ce denier présente les effigies de deux des principaux acteurs de la guerre de Gaules : Jules César (100-44 avant J.-C.) et Marc Antoine (83-30 avant J.-C.). Antoine était parent de César par sa mère Julia. Il fut l'un des fidèles lieutenants de César pendant la guerre des Gaules. Il participa au siège d'Alésia, et occupa Bibracte. Il prit part à la répression contre les Bellovaques et triompha de Commius. Questeur en 51, il fut ensuite élu augure. (BG. VII, 81 ; VIII, 2, 24, 38, 46 à 48 et 50).
