Commentary
Taillé au burin. Même coin de revers que les exemplaires décrits par G. Saves, pl. XV, n° 259 et 264. Semble être de même coin de revers que les exemplaires de MONNAIES VIII, n° 884 et de MONNAIES XV, n° 305 et 306 ainsi que les exemplaires des musées de Rouen n° 113 et de Zürich n° 93. Tous les exemplaires frappés avec ce coin de revers sont identifiables en raison de la cassure de coin, au centre de la croix, dont on peut suivre l’évolution au fur et à mesure de l’utilisation et des frappes.
Cut with a burin. Same reverse die as the examples described by G. Saves, pl. XV, nos. 259 and 264. Appears to be the same reverse die as the examples of COINS VIII, no. 884 and COINS XV, nos. 305 and 306 as well as the examples from the museums of Rouen no. 113 and Zurich no. 93. All the examples struck with this reverse die are identifiable because of the die break, in the center of the cross, the evolution of which can be followed over time with use and strikes

Historical background
GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - RUTENI (Area of Rodez)
(1st century BC)
Neighbors of the Arvernes, the Cadurques and the Gabales, their territory corresponded to the former Rouergue (current department of Aveyron) to the north of the Tarn, the course of which constituted the border with the province of Narbonnaise. The Rutenes, allies of the Arvernes, had participated in the operations which led to the defeat of Bituit, king of the Arvernes in 121 BC and the creation of the province of Narbonnaise. On this occasion, the Rutenes had found themselves cut in two, following the natural border of the Tarn. Active in the coalition against the Romans in 52 BC, they provided a contingent of 12,000 men to the relief army. Sources: Caesar (BG. I, 45; VII, 5, 64, 75 and 90).
