Commentary


Petite contremarque au revers au-dessus du bélier au revers. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de quarante-deux coins de droit et de quarante-sept coins de revers. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux.
Small countermark on the reverse above the ram on the reverse. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of forty-two obverse dies and forty-seven reverse dies. This type appears to be rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background


RUSTIA

(76 BC)

Cnæus Octavius and Caius Scribonius Curio were consuls in 76 BC. After Sylla's death in 78 BC, Lepidus died in 77 BC in Sardinia after being beaten by Catullus and Pompey . Perpena joins Sertorius in Spain. Pompey, going to take his command in Spain, crushes a revolt in Transalpine Gaul. Caesar attacks Dolabella for extortion. At the beginning of the following year, Sicinius proposed to restore the powers of the tribunes of the plebs, undermined by the Senate. In Spain, Metellus and Pompey are defeated by Sertorius. The latter is close to Mithridates VI of Pontus.
