| Description |
English: A silver and copper-alloy Roman coin. Inscription left: SPQR within corona civica; right: SALVS ET LIBERTAS (Security and Liberty). A probable contemporary forgery of a denarius issued by Vindex of Gaul at the time of his rebellion against Nero. The official coin was minted in AD 68 between early March, when Vindex rebelled against Nero's regime, and and late May/early June, when his rebellion was crushed by Lucius Verginius Rufus (Sutherland, p. 198). The coin has patches of green corrosion suggesting that it is comprised of a silver plated copper core. It measures 17.3mm diameter by 1.4mm thick and weighs 2.8g.
Français : Pièce de monnaie romaine en alliage argent et cuivre. Il s'agit probablement d’une contrefaçon de denier émis par Vindex le Gaulois au moment de sa rébellion contre l’empereur Néron. La pièce officielle a été frappée en 68 après J.-C. entre début mars, lorsque Vindex s'est rebellé contre le régime, et fin mai début juin, lorsqu’il a été vaincu par Lucius Verginius Rufus (Sutherland, p. 198). La pièce présente des taches de corrosion verte, ce qui suggère qu'elle est constituée d'un noyau de cuivre plaqué argent. Dimensions : 17,3 mm de diamètre et 1,4 mm d'épaisseur. Poids : 2,8 g. |
