Commento
Sur cet exemplaire de la série 80, au revers le caducée est décrit avec un filet qui est invisible sur notre exemplaire comme sur de nombreux exemplaires de l’ouvrage de Williams. Très tôt, le monnayage de Vélia a été décrit comme ayant inspiré la drachme lourde de Marseille (LT. 785-791). Certains l’ont même décrit comme un monnayage symmachique : un lion de Vélia étant l’équivalent de deux lions de Marseille. Aujourd’hui, cette théorie est remise en cause, par G. Depeyrot, non sans arguments, mais avec une certaine acrimonie. Le lion de Vélia a pu servir de modèle à celui de Marseille, mais à quelle date ? La frappe à Vélia commence dans la seconde moitié du Ve siècle avant J.-C. pour se poursuivre jusqu’en 281 avant J.-C. À quel moment les Massaliotes auraient-ils emprunté le lion de Vélia ?.

The strike at Velia began in the second half of the 5th century BC and continued until 281 BC. When would the Massaliotes have borrowed the lion from Velia?
