Commentary
Le denier qui a fait son apparition en 211 avant J.-C. est largement imité par les peuples de la vallée du Rhône sur leurs deniers (LT. 5715-5943), monnayage générique plus connu sous le nom d’imitations du type des Dioscures.
The denarius, which appeared in 211 BC, was widely imitated by the peoples of the Rhone Valley on their denarii (LT. 5715-5943), a generic coinage better known as imitations of the Dioscuri type.

Historical background
SEMPRONIA
(148 BC)
In 148 BC, Sp. Postumius Albinus Magnus and L. Calpurnius Piso Cæsonius were consuls. The Third Punic War began the previous year. Cato the Elder died before his dream of the destruction of Carthage came true. In 148, the consul Calpurnius Piso continued the siege of the African metropolis, while Andriscus, who claimed to be the son of Perseus, was defeated in Macedonia by Q Caecilius Metellus who took the nickname of Macedonian.
