Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié pour une émission au 1/192 L. Ne semble pas une imitation et présente toutes les caractéristiques d’une monnaie officielle. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Semble de la plus grande rareté.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted for a 1/192 L issue. Does not appear to be an imitation and has all the characteristics of an official coin. Missing from all consulted works. Appears to be of the greatest rarity

Historical background
ROMA
(330-348)
Rome was founded on April 21, 753 BC according to Varro (Ab Urbe Condita). The city, whose population fluctuated between 400,000 and one million during the High Empire, lost its importance from the second half of the 3rd century. The choice by Constantine of a new capital, from 326, dealt him a fatal blow from which the Urbs would not recover before the Renaissance. The city will still survive for nearly one hundred and fifty years, despite two sacks: those of 410 and 455. Rome is no longer in Rome.
