Commentary


Poids léger pour un dupondius. Le buste n’est pas posé sur un croissant comme l’antoninien ou les dupondii à partir de Julia Mamée, mais le buste est diadémé (stéphané) et peut laisser supposer que nous sommes bien en présence du dupondius. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type qui semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
