Commentary
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 première émission se caractérise par un socle représenté par deux lignes et les pieds du siège ne sont pas ornés de fleurons.
Like the Augustan denarius, 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 late phase in archaeological excavations. It is the most common Roman coin in Gaul for the Julio-Claudians. The first issue is characterized by a base represented by two lines and the feet of the seat are not decorated with fleurons.
