Commentary
Cette petite obole s’insère dans la série 1286 pour “les fractions en argent des peuples de l’ouest”.
Avec un avers lisse et un beau petit cheval à gauche, cette obole ne correspond exactement à aucune des monnaies du Nouvel Atlas ; le cheval semble d’ailleurs avoir une aile, ce qui ferait du lui un pégase !.
This small obol fits into the 1286 series for “silver fractions of the peoples of the west.” With a smooth obverse and a beautiful little horse on the left, this obol does not exactly match any of the coins in the New Atlas; the horse also seems to have a wing, which would make it a Pegasus!

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.
