Commentary
Le revers commémore l’exécution de Tarpeia. Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 294 coins de droit et de 327 coins de revers. Ce type de la mort de Tarpeia semble moins courant que celui de l’enlèvement des Sabines.
The reverse commemorates Tarpeia's execution. For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of 294 right dies and 327 reverse dies. This type of death of Tarpeia seems less common than that of the kidnapping of the Sabines
