Commentary


Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de 300 coins de droit et de 375 coins de revers. Sur cet exemplaire, le rostre est stylisé. Frappé en 124 avant J.-C. à un moment où les Romains sont en guerre contre les Allobroges et les Arvernes, ce type de denier a pu circuler en Gaule, mais ne semble pas y avoir été imité.

Historical background


FABIA

(124 BC)

Quintus Fabius Labeo belonged to the important gens Fabia. He would be the Fabius quoted by Cicero according to H. Grueber, which seems unlikely. In 124 BC, Caius Gracchus assumed his first tribune on December 10. In Gaul, the Romans must fight the Arvernes and the Allobroges. Caius Cassius Longinus and Caius Sextius Calvinus were consuls.
