Commentary
Monnaie rappelant la Bga_692532 ! Cette petite obole s’insère dans la série 1286 pour “les fractions en argent des peuples de l’ouest”.
Avec un avers inhabituel et un cheval ailé (?) à droite, cette obole ne correspond exactement à aucune des monnaies du Nouvel Atlas et elle ne semble pas recensée dans le remarquable article en ligne de la société numismatique du Limousin sur “les fractions en argent du “centre-ouest””.
Coin reminiscent of Bga_692532! This small obol is included in the 1286 series for “the silver fractions of the peoples of the west”. With an unusual obverse and a winged horse (?) on the right, this obol does not correspond exactly to any of the coins of the New Atlas and it does not seem to be listed in the remarkable online article of the Limousin numismatic society on “silver fractions from the “central-west”

Historical background
GALLIA - LEMOVICES (Area of Limoges)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Celtic people who left their name in Limoges and Limousin. The origin of its name comes once again from lemo or limo which can be translated as elm. Skilled traders, specialized in export, they were perhaps the secret allies of the Romans which could explain Caesar's silence on this people who nevertheless extended their power to the Atlantic coasts. Nevertheless, Caesar estimates at ten thousand men the Lemovice contingent sent against him to clear Alesia in 52 BC. After the conquest, from 50 BC, Caesar would have installed several Roman camps on the Lemovice territory in order to be able to monitor the Arvernian territory. Caesar (BG. VII, 4, 75, 88). Strabo (G. IV, 2, 2).
