Commentary

Toujours considéré par certains comme une monnaie coulée, ce bronze est frappé et à notre connaissance il ne s'agit pas d'une série frappée et coulée, comme cela peut être le cas pour les monnaies TVRONOS CANTORIX par exemple. En admettant que l'atelier de fabrication de ce bronze se situe à proximité du site de Fort-Harrouard, l'attribution aux Carnutes pourrait alors être revue en faveur des Durocasses.
Still considered by some as a cast coin, this bronze is struck and to our knowledge it is not a struck and cast series, as may be the case for TVRONOS CANTORIX coins for example. Assuming that the workshop for manufacturing this bronze is located near the site of Fort-Harrouard, the attribution to the Carnutes could then be revised in favor of the Durocasses
