Commentary
Poids léger. Petite marque (C) à l’encre de chine sur la tête d’Octave. Les dupondii, 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.
Light weight. Small mark (C) in Indian ink on Octavius's head. The dupondii, 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.
