Commentary


Alors que le revers est bien net, le droit est très usé, frappé avec un coin aux très faibles reliefs... Les coins de droit étaient vraiment utilisés jusqu’à l’extrême !
Avec un revers aussi largement utilisé pour les drachmes de style languedocien, le droit ne permet pas le classement précis de cette monnaie.

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - LONGOSTALETES (Area of Narbonne)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

This people who occupied most of the departments of Aude and Hérault is mentioned neither by Ptolemy, nor by Strabo, nor by Caesar. Their coinage is known to us only by the treasures of Béziers (Hérault) discovered in 1871 and which contained between 750 and 800 coins of Languedoc style as well as that of Moussan in the Aude, discovered in 1967 and which contained 28 drachmas of style " Languedocian".
