Commentary


L. Villaronga recense ce type de bronze pour les Longostalètes, en le classant R9, ce qui correspond à un seul exemplaire étudié. Plus récemment, les auteurs du DICOMON mentionnent plusieurs provenances ; Ambrussum, Ensérune, Le Cros, Montlaurès, Montredon-des-Corbières, Nîmes, Noves et Peyre-Plantade

L’attribution aux Longostalètes repose sur la légende LOC ou LOG mélangeant des caractères grecs et latins. La datation semble tardive, au milieu du Ier siècle avant J.-C. .

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - LONGOSTALETES (Area of Narbonne)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

This people who occupied most of the departments of Aude and Hérault is mentioned neither by Ptolemy, nor by Strabo, nor by Caesar. Their coinage is known to us only by the treasures of Béziers (Hérault) discovered in 1871 and which contained between 750 and 800 coins of Languedoc style as well as that of Moussan in the Aude, discovered in 1967 and which contained 28 drachmas of style " Languedocian".
