Commentary
Poids léger. Ayant fait sa réapparition sous la quatrième émission, Securitas (la Sécurité) continue à être exaltée sous la cinquième. Il est impossible, étant donné la faiblesse de frappe en fin de légende de droit, de déterminer l’atelier où ce dupondius a été frappé. La présence d’un globe à la pointe du cou est plausible mais la place laissée à la fin de la légende serait beaucoup trop juste. Cependant, le style de portrait rappelle fortement l’atelier de Lyon.

It is impossible, given the weakness of the strike at the end of the obverse legend, to determine the mint where this dupondius was struck. The presence of a globe at the tip of the neck is plausible, but the space left at the end of the legend would be far too tight. However, the portrait style is strongly reminiscent of the Lyon mint
