Commentary

Potin connu à très peu d'exemplaires, n'ayant pas été étudié scientifiquement et manquant à tous les musées, mais attribué aux Bituriges, sans plus de renseignement. Bien que semblant manquer au Nouvel Atlas, on pourrait le replacer dans la série 625.
potin known in very few copies, not having been scientifically studied and missing from all museums, but attributed to the Bituriges, without further information. Although it seems to be missing from the New Atlas, it could be placed in the 625 series
