Commentary


Ce type de bronze est apparenté au monnayage celtibère transpyrénéen. Le prototype est certainement à rechercher dans les bronzes au trépied de Marseille.
Ce type précis, avec la légende BWKIOC devant le visage correspond au n° 4 de L. Villaronga qui a étudié 19 exemplaires et classe ce type en R4. La légende de revers, souvent mal venue, est censée être LOGGOSTA-LETON et BIURBI. C’est le plus bel exemplaire de ce type que nous ayons jamais eu à la vente !.

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".
