定義

• A multiple of the Romas As after the first reduction. It bears on the obverse the head of Minerva or Roma, and on the reverse the prow of a galley and the mark II, i.e., two Asses.

  The Dupondius continued to be coined under the Roman Emperors but in brass (in contradistinction to the As, which consisted of more or less pure copper). Because in size it was about equal to the As it was distinguished from the latter by placing a radiate crown upon the Emperor's portrait on the obverse. It was discontinued under Trajan Decius and Trebonianus.
