Commentary
Le poids de ce denier est basé sur une taille au 1/82e livre. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de quarante coins de droit et de cinquante coins de revers. Ce denier est en fait plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les différents ouvrages généraux.
The weight of this denarius is based on a size of 1/82nd pound. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of forty obverse dies and fifty reverse dies. This denarius is in fact rarer than the various general works suggest.
