Commentary

Ce type de potin peut se confondre avec les potins dits "aux croissants" ; il n'en est pourtant rien. Il s'agit d'un potin imité de Marseille au MA, mais tellement stylisé et/ou dégénéré que le revers se limite à une silhouette d'animal en boudin horizontal !.

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.
