Commentary


Cette once est bien frappée après la réforme onciale de la livre (as) qui ne pèse plus qu’un douzième de son poids d’origine. Un seul exemplaire recensé par M. Crawford au musée du Capitole à Rome. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
This ounce was minted after the uncial reform of the pound (as), which now weighs only one-twelfth of its original weight. A single example recorded by Mr. Crawford in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. Seems much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background


ROMAN REPUBLIC - ANONYMOUS

(211-202 BC)

In 211 AC, the young Publius Cornelius Scipio was appointed proconsul in Spain and attempted to prevent Hasdrubal from joining Hannibal in Italy. He seizes Cartagena but fails to prevent Hasdrubal from crossing into Italy. Scipio brings war to Africa in 204 AC, forcing the Carthaginians to recall Hannibal. The Carthaginians were finally defeated at Zama in 202 AC and asked for peace the following year. That same year, Publius Cornelius Scipio received the nickname of Scipio "the African".
