Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de quarante-huit coins de droit et de 60 coins de revers. Ce denier semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laisse présager l’estimation du nombre de coins. Ce denier, qui appartient à une série monétaire qui en comporte cinq, est très important pour l’histoire de la Provincia (Provence) et de la Gaule et se trouve être l’un des plus rares. Dans les trésors, seuls vingt-neuf exemplaires ont été relevés, provenant des dépôts de Fiesole (3 ex.), de Syracuse (3 ex.), de Berchidda (6 ex.), de Monte Condruzzo (4 ex.), de San Giuliano (3 ex.), d’Alvignano (1 ex.), d’Avvetrana (3 ex.), de Pontecorvo (1 ex.), de Casaleone (4 ex.) et de Vigatto (1 ex.).
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of forty-eight upright dies and 60 reverse dies. This denarius seems much rarer than the estimate of the number of coins suggests. This denarius, which belongs to a monetary series which includes five, is very important for the history of Provincia (Provence) and Gaul and happens to be one of the rarest. Among the treasures, only twenty-nine examples were found, coming from the deposits of Fiesole (3 copies), Syracuse (3 copies), Berchidda (6 copies), Monte Condruzzo (4 copies), San Giuliano (3 copies), Alvignano (1 example), Avvetrana (3 examples), Pontecorvo (1 example), Casaleone (4 examples) and Vigatto (1 example)

Historical background


PORCIA

(118 BC)

Quintus Fabius Maximus and Cnæus Domitius Ahenobarbus, respectively consuls in 122 and 121 BC, won a brilliant victory over the allied troops of the Allobroges and the Arvernes commanded by the Arverne king Bituit in 121 BC, which moreover put an end to the Arverne empire, brought the Allobroges into the Roman orbit as a client tribe and brought the Gallic "civitates" to emancipate themselves from Arverne tutelage. The bursting of Gaul in multiple entities was to allow Rome to establish a lasting peace in the new province (Provincia) organized from 118 before J. - C. and "to divide for better reigning". Bituit, taken prisoner, participated in the triumph of Quintus Fabius Maximus, his conqueror, in his own solid silver chariot, before being executed by strangulation as tradition dictated..
