Commentary


Ce type précis semble extrêment rare et manquerait à toutes les publications consultées. Outre un traitement très particulier de la chevelure, le revers semble présenter un char et non un bige, avec un croissant devant le cheval (dont les oreilles sont disproportionnées, comme s’il s’agissait d’un âne ?).
Ce même croissant est visible sur le statère BN. 5949A..

Historical background


CENTER, UNSPECIFIED

(1st century BC)

Under this term were gathered all the coins which are not attributed or attributable to a hypothetical center, "soft belly" of Gaul. The coins are very disparate and the attributions risky. One day perhaps, will we return to such a quarter of a stater at the Leuques or the Séquanes (Centre-East) or at the Bituriges Cubes or the Carnutes ("Centre-Centre") or even at the Pictons or the Lémovices (Centre-West) ? For the moment, an attribution to the Center which has no geographical, political or historical reality makes it possible to evacuate a certain number of insoluble attribution problems.
