Commentary
L'exemplaire du Savès est classé dans la Série VII, Type à revers variés, présumés "zone orientale". Bien que le poids de ces monnaies les rapproche des monnaies de style languedociennes, les flans sont plutôt courts et quadrangulaires.
The Savès copy is classified in Series VII, Type with varied reverses, presumed \\\"eastern zone\\\". Although the weight of these coins brings them closer to Languedoc style coins, the blanks are rather short and quadrangular.

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".
