Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 102 coins de droit et de 113 coins de revers pour neuf variétés différentes. Semble de mêmes coins que l’exemplaire photographié dans le Catàlogo (n° 860). Avec le scorpion comme marque de contrôle, ce denier semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent apparaître les différents catalogues généraux. M. Crawford ne l’avait pas relevé dans le tableau des différents monétaires en 1974 pour Caius Marcius Censorinus.

Historical background


MARCIA

(88 BC)

Caius Marcius Censorinus must be identified with one of Marius' followers, more precisely the one who accuses Sylla of embezzlement on his return from the East. As one of the leaders of the Marianist party, he entered Rome with Marius and Cinna in 87 BC and became one of the main instigators of the massacres that followed. Faithful to the memory of Marius, he fought Sylla, but was taken prisoner at the Battle of Porte Colline in 82 BC and executed.
