Commentary

Demi-dupondius. Les dupondius, qu'ils soient de Vienne, d'Orange, de Narbonne, de Lyon ou de Nîmes, sont considérés par certains comme appartenant aux gauloises et par d'autres aux romaines ; il s'agit tout simplement d'un monnayage gallo-romain, émis par les romains sur un territoire conquis mais circulant en même temps avec les monnaies autochtones.
Half-dupondius. Dupondius, whether from Vienna, Orange, Narbonne, Lyon or Nîmes, are considered by some to belong to the Gauls and by others to the Romans; it is simply a Gallo-Roman coinage, issued by the Romans in a conquered territory but circulating at the same time with the indigenous coins.
