Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Siège avec les pieds droits. 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. La première émission se caractérise par un socle représenté par deux lignes et les pieds du siège sont droits au revers.

The first issue is characterized by a base represented by two lines and the legs of the chair are straight on the reverse.
