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.
As with the Augustus denarius, this piece belongs to the imperial workshop of Lyon and this type of denarius circulated for almost a century. It is very often encountered with Gallic coins from the terminal phase in archaeological excavations. It is the most common Roman coin in Gaul for the Julio-Claudians
