Commentary
Cet exemplaire correspond au LT. 6875 qui est lui-même repris pour illustrer le Nouvel Atlas DT. 2160, considéré comme un type original, dans le sens où il ne correspond à aucun statère unitaire connu. Probablement du même coin de revers que le BN 6875.
This example corresponds to LT. 6875, which is itself used to illustrate the New Atlas DT. 2160, considered an original type, in that it does not correspond to any known unitary stater. Probably from the same reverse die as BN 6875.

The Aulerci are a very large people who are subdivided into three large tribes, including the Aulerci Cenomani who were located to the south-east of the Aulerci Diablintes (Mayenne basin), in the current department of Sarthe. Their city in the Gallo-Roman era, Vindunum, perpetuates their name in the form of Le Mans. In 52 BC, they provided a contingent of five thousand men for the relief army of Vercingetorix, besieged in Alesia. Caesar (BG. VII, 75). Kruta: 72, 187, 266.
