Commentary


Ce type de quart est très rare et difficile à classer, si ce n’est par association de style avec des monnaies arvernes ou éduennes. Les travaux de D. Allen dans la Revue Suisse de 1974 reprennent une série de quarts au bige (n° 26-31). Le différent en forme de I ou de T ne correspond guère aux monnaies publiées, à moins qu’il s’agisse d’une tête d’Hélios stylisée. La main disproportionnée de l’aurige est elle aussi inhabituelle.
This type of quarter is very rare and difficult to classify, except by stylistic association with Arverni or Aedui coins. D. Allen's work in the 1974 Revue Suisse includes a series of quarters with biga (nos. 26-31). The I- or T-shaped mark hardly corresponds to the published coins, unless it is a stylized head of Helios. The disproportionate hand of the charioteer is also unusual.

Historical background


EDUENS, ÆDUI / ARVERNI, UNSPECIFIED

(1st century BC)

This so-called Siaugues-Saint-Romain series is more complex than it appears and it is difficult to present an exhaustive study of it due to the advanced state of corrosion of most of the known examples. A concentration of these coins can be observed in lower Allier, around Vichy (...). The geographical distribution of the coins makes them a local coinage. It could correspond to a coinage of pagus, whose territory would extend into the protruding space described by the Arverne city in the Allier valley, north of a Mariol-Bègues line. K. Gruel and D. Lallemand, Gallic coins and archeology of the territory in Auvergne, Essays in honor of Simone Scheers, pages 155-171.
