Commentary

Poids léger. Pour ce type, M. Crawford donne une estimation de quarante coins de droit et cinquante coins de revers. Ce denier est parfois daté plus tardivement vers 200-190 avant J.-C. Ce type semble en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Light weight. For this type, Mr. Crawford gives an estimate of forty obverse dies and fifty reverse dies. This denarius is sometimes dated later, around 200-190 BC. This type actually seems much rarer than general works suggest.
