Commentary
Poids léger. Ces monnaies sont encore mal connues et restent très rares (et souvent mal conservées à cause du billon utilisé).
Avec les types de droit et de revers à gauche et cette croisette comme différent à la place de l’habituelle tête coupée, cette drachme correspond à la var. 2 du Type II “ différent à la croix” de la série 1262 du Nouvel Atlas. Cette variété n’était pas connue avant le DT. 3674.
Lightweight. These coins are still poorly known and remain very rare (and often poorly preserved because of the bill used). With the types of right and reverse on the left and this cross as different in place of the usual severed head, this drachma corresponds to the var. 2 of Type II “different at the cross” from series 1262 of the New Atlas. This variety was not known before the DT. 3674

Historical background
GALLIA - SANTONES / MID-WESTERN, Unspecified
(1st century BC)
A large part of the coinage of the Center-West still poses delicate problems of restitution today. To the fine, sometimes very detailed attributions of the two previous centuries (19th and 20th centuries), the historians of Gaul, with a view to globalization, prefer to refer to large geographical groups. Isn't the most important thing today that we are in possession of the archaeological object itself? Nevertheless if, in the future, the attitude of the discoverers of coins, fortuitous discoveries or not, official or not, allied to the benevolence of our sometimes suspicious archaeologists could allow us, thanks to a close collaboration (collaborare, to work together in Latin) and extent of their respective competences, to have a better knowledge of the places of discoveries, we could see gradually disappearing all these attributions "uncertain this, uncertain that" for the greatest pleasure of each and the Knowledge of all.
