Commentary


Ce type de denier a été imité en Europe Centrale, imitation hongroise (KO = LT. 10120), hybride d’un denier de la gens Fabia pour le droit et de la gens Sergia pour le revers. Le type avec la tête coupée se rencontre assez souvent dans le monnayage celtique. Les guerriers gaulois coupaient les têtes de leurs adversaires et les attachaient à la crinière de leurs chevaux.
This type of denarius was imitated in Central Europe, a Hungarian imitation (KO = LT. 10120), a hybrid of a denarius of the Fabian gens for the obverse and of the Sergian gens for the reverse. The type with the severed head is quite common in Celtic coinage. Gallic warriors cut off the heads of their opponents and attached them to the manes of their horses.

Historical background


SERGIA

(116-115 BC)

The gens Sergia is a family of patrician origin from Lazio. As E. Babelon supposes, Marcus Sergius could be the father of Lucius Sergius Catilina, the conspirator (108-62 BC).
