Commentary


Bien que présent dès la fin du XIXe siècle dans le LA TOUR, ce bronze semble fort rare et mal documenté. Sur les deux exemplaires du Nouvel Atlas, l’un provient des environs de Châteaudun.
Si le traitement de la tête est assez inhabituel, le flan de petit module, léger et coulé en chapelet avant d’être frappé est un cas à part dans le monnayage des Carnutes ou des peuples avoisinant. Ce type de flan associé au thème du cheval avec des annelets nous fait rapprocher cette monnaie des Bituriges.

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..
