Commentary
Le classement précis de cette drachme reste soumis à cautions... Ce revers est typique des monnaies des séries IV et VII, mais les avers ne sont rigoureusement identiques dans le traitement de la chevelure que si les deux monnaies sont issues du même coin !.
The precise classification of this drachma remains subject to caution... This reverse is typical of coins from series IV and VII, but the obverses are strictly identical in the treatment of the hair only if the two coins come from the same die!

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".
