Commentary
Ce type de bronze est très rare ; le DT. 546 A est considéré comme un bronze anépigraphe des Bellovaques. Ce très rare bronze correspond au n° 654 du musée de Lyon.
Ce type précis appartient probablement aux Bituriges et s’insère dans la même série que les drachmes DT. série 1040 qui présentent le même style de droit !
Un autre exemplaire provient du Mont-César (Oise) ; ce bronze est repris dans le TraIté de S. Scheers pour la série 135, n° 493. Il semble pourtant qu'il n'ait pas été frappé sur place ; il s'agit plutôt d'un bronze importé !
Dans le catalogue du musée de Lyon, Simone Scheers classe ce bronze dans les bronzes au sanglier et à la fibule. Elle précise que ce bronze est fort rare et que la provenance de deux exemplaires dans les travaux de Bourges (Cher) pourrait pointer vers les Bituriges Cubes.

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..
