Commentary
Notre exemplaire semble inédit et non répertorié et manque aux principaux ouvrages consultés, mais le portrait est très proche des exemplaires de l’American Numismatic Society (ANS. 895-896). Au revers, notre exemplaire semble anépigraphe, mais l’exergue est hors champ. En revanche, nous avons un grain d’orge au-dessus du sanglier, animal qui est décrit dans les ouvrages comme une truie. Sur notre exemplaire, malgré une corrosion de surface, nous distinguons très bien l’attribut sexuel d’un mâle. L’animal penché, semble se nourrir .
Our example seems unpublished and unlisted and is missing from the main works consulted, but the portrait is very close to the examples of the American Numismatic Society (ANS. 895-896). On the reverse, our example seems anepigraphic, but the exergue is out of frame. On the other hand, we have a grain of barley above the wild boar, an animal that is described in the works as a sow. On our example, despite surface corrosion, we can clearly distinguish the sexual attribute of a male. The animal, leaning over, seems to be feeding
