Commentary
Ce type de droit est très proche de ceux des potins dit "au segment" dont l'attribution oscille entre les Bellovaques et les Aulerques Éburovices. Cet exemplaire comme celui de la RN 1837 a la particularité d'avoir la chevelure traitée en une ligne bouletée. Contrairement aux suppositions faites dans MONNAIES XV, ce potin est présent dans le catalogue de la BN, par Muret et Chabouillet.

Historical background
BITURIGES CUBI / CARNUTES, UNSPECIFIED
(1st century BC)
The traditional attribution gives this badly known potin to the Bituriges Cubes while an attribution to the Carnutes is possible with regard to the places of discoveries. If the head resembles known coins, sometimes of distant inspiration (bellovaque or éburovices), the reverse remains enigmatic. We are certainly dealing with a local coinage, of "Pagus" as we say in our Celtic jargon, Simone Scheers going so far as to evoke a border coinage on the borders of the Bituriges and Carnutes countries. After the end of the war when Gaul was totally conquered, many substitution coins, of "necessity" appeared in order to replace or supplement the monetary circulation..
