Commentary

Rubans de type 3. L’exemplaire (MONNAIES 29, n° 143) était datable du début de l’année 97 alors que cet exemplaire, où Nerva a reçu sa deuxième puissance tribunitienne ne peut avoir été frappé qu’en toute fin d’année, après le 18 septembre et même selon certaines sources (cf. BMC III, p. XXXIII), jusqu’au 27 octobre, date à laquelle il aurait revêtu sa deuxième acclamation impériale, soit un laps de temps très court !.
Type 3 ribbons. The example (MONNAIES 29, n° 143) was dated from the beginning of the year 97 while this example, where Nerva received his second tribunitian power, can only have been struck at the very end of the year. year, after September 18 and even according to certain sources (cf. BMC III, p. XXXIII), until October 27, the date on which he would have worn his second imperial acclamation, a very short period of time!
