Commentary
Ce bronze a la particularité d’avoir une chevelure formée d’une unique mèche principale encadrée d’un cordon perlé (qui pourrait représenter un casque), à la différence des autres exemplaires tels que ceux de Lyon, de Zürich ou du Lambert.
cf. VSO 15, n° 426.
This bronze has the particularity of having a hair made up of a single main strand framed by a beaded cord (which could represent a helmet), unlike other examples such as those from Lyon, Zürich or Lambert. cf. VSO 15, No. 426

Historical background
BITURIGES CUBI / WESTERN CENTER, UNSPECIFIED
(1st century BC)
It is sometimes very difficult to decide on an attribution due to the lack of information on the location of the finds. On the other hand, a site that is too well excavated can distort our judgment because the concentration of specimens found on a given site does not necessarily correspond with the ancient reality. Numismatics like other sciences abhors a vacuum and has tried to fill them by all means, even at the cost of error. The uncertain coins attributed to the Bituriges Cubes are poorly known and little or poorly published. But in the Center-West, around Poitiers, Limoges or Bourges, these coins are known to local scholars who have classified them differently for a long time. Only active collaboration can allow us to better understand these coins and return them to whom it may concern..
