Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Comme pour le denier d'Auguste, cette pièce appartient à l'atelier impérial de Lyon et ce type de denier a circulé pendant pratiquement un siècle. Il se rencontre très souvent avec des monnaies gauloises de la phase terminale dans les fouilles archéologiques. C’est la monnaie romaine la plus courante en Gaule pour les Julio-Claudiens. La quatrième émission se caractérise par un socle représenté par une ligne et les pieds du siège sont ornementés au revers ; au droit, les rubans de la couronne sont divergents.
Ribbons of type 3. As with the denarius of Augustus, this coin belongs to the imperial mint of Lyon and this type of denarius circulated for almost a century. It is very often found with Gallic coins from the final phase in archaeological excavations. It is the most common Roman coin in Gaul for the Julio-Claudians. The fourth issue is characterized by a base represented by a line and the feet of the seat are ornamented on the reverse; on the obverse, the ribbons of the crown are divergent
