Commentary
Si cette exceptionnelle monnaie peut-être restituée aux Rutènes, elle n'en manque pas moins à tous les ouvrages consultés, y compris au Moneta 28 pourtant utile sur cette région. L'ensemble des huit monnaies publiées par M. Lhermet ne contenait que des obole à l'oiseau.
Le sanglier du revers, particulièrement bien venu sur cet exemplaire, se rapproche de celui qui orne les drachmes à la tête du "groupe au sanglier" du Savès.
Although this exceptional coin can be returned to the Ruteni, it is nonetheless missing from all the works consulted, including Moneta 28, which is nevertheless useful for this region. All eight coins published by Mr. Lhermet contained only bird obols. The boar on the reverse, particularly well-placed on this example, is similar to the one that adorns the drachmas at the head of the \\\"boar group\\\" of Savès

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).
