Commentary
Ce type de bronze correspond plus à une monnaie gallo-romaine qu’à une monnaie gauloise.
Ces monnaies ont tour à tour été données aux Éduens, aux Lingons ou aux Séquanes, voire aux Trévires. Si le style du portrait se rapproche des émissions lyonnaises, ce type n'a rien à voir avec l'émission au taureau. Les coins semblent habituellement être ajustés à 6 ou 12 heures. Pour cette série, les auteurs du Roman Provincial Coinage ont répertorié 14 exemplaires avec un poids moyen de 2,70 g.
This type of bronze corresponds more to a Gallo-Roman coin than to a Gallic coin. These coins were given in turn to the Aedui, the Lingones or the Sequani, or even the Treveri. If the style of the portrait is close to the Lyonnaise issues, this type has nothing to do with the bull issue. The dies usually seem to be adjusted to 6 or 12 o'clock. For this series, the authors of the Roman Provincial Coinage listed 14 examples with an average weight of 2.70 g

Historical background
CENTER, UNSPECIFIED
(1st century BC)
Often these monetary series with the eagle (RPC. 508 = RIC. 227 = BN 4730) or the bull (RPC. 509 = RIC 228 = LT. 9266) were given to the imperial mint in Lyon. This attribution is questioned by the celticists who prefer to see in it a purely local coinage. The authors of the Roman Provincial Coinage would like to recognize there auxiliary workshops, dependent on the capital of Gaul and having perhaps minted on behalf of the troops stationed in the region. In fact, it could be Romanized issues of the Aedui, Sequani or Lingones, or even Leuci or Treveri. The workshop or workshops that would have manufactured these species are still located north of Lyon. These workshops would then have fulfilled the same role as Vienna, Orange, Narbonne, Lyon or Nîmes some thirty years earlier: the creation, supply and distribution of small extra cash in order to supplement or replace the demonetized purely Celtic coinage.
