Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente-neuf coins de droit et de quarante-neuf coins de revers. Ce denier semble en fait plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages de référence. Le même phénomène est à remarquer pour les deux autres monétaires, Lucius Postumius Albinus (RCV. 128) et Marcus Opimius, frère de Lucius (RCV. 130).
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty-nine obverse dies and forty-nine reverse dies. This denarius actually seems rarer than the reference works suggest. The same phenomenon is to be noted for the other two coins, Lucius Postumius Albinus (RCV. 128) and Marcus Opimius, brother of Lucius (RCV. 130)
