Commentary


Sur cet exemplaire le A de ROMA est normal (fermé). Ce denier appartient aux premières émissions de ce type, frappé au 1/72 L (poids théorique 4,51 g ou 4 scrupules ; 1 scrupule = 1,1275 g, la livre romaine est composée de 288 scrupules). Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 100 coins de droit et de 125 coins de revers. Ce denier est en fait plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les différents ouvrages généraux.

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".
