<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 4682538, member: 87809&quot;]I think yours is a class I, like the second one that dougsmit is showing with the teeth of the crocodile’s upper jaw turned outside, or an early class II. I can&#039;t see the detail of the crocodile&#039;s teeth on your picture <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the date, according to Ulrich Werz <a href="https://niedersachsen.academia.edu/UlrichWerz/Papers" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://niedersachsen.academia.edu/UlrichWerz/Papers" rel="nofollow">https://niedersachsen.academia.edu/UlrichWerz/Papers</a></p><p><br /></p><p>who in his paper “Die Kleingeldversorgung augusteischer Zeit in Gallien und Germanien - Überlegungen zu den Kleinerzen aus dem römischen Marschlager von Wilkenburg“ writes about the Aes from Nemausus and Lyon: </p><p><br /></p><p>In the last quarter of the 1st century BC Augustus reorganized the monetary system. This reorganization started in 20 BC and ended in 9 AD. Not all coins were struck continuously every year. Sestertii and Dupondii were struck from 18 BC. Two years later, in 16 BC, As were struck. The smallest unit, the quadrans was only struck in 9/8 BC and 5/4 BC.</p><p>In particular the first series from Nemausus is dated between 12 and 8 BC and the second series between 8 and 3/2 BC (Ilish 1992). During Drusus campaign between 12 -8 BC coinage from the 1st series of Nemausus as well as the halved&nbsp; coins were representative for Aes circulation. With the campaigns from the 1st century AD the spectrum of the bronze coinage changes: the Nemausus coinage is replaced by the 1st Altar series from Lyon. This replacement is to be understood as a process over time. That explains why the Nemausus coinage almost disappeared at the end of the first decade of the first century.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my early class II that I have shared before in another thread:</p><p>Gallia, Nemausus</p><p>24 x 25 mm, 13.919 g</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC 154 - 156; Sear 1728; RPC 522;</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1152555[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1152557[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
