Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire, les légendes sont hors flan au droit, mais complètes au revers.
Quand on regarde la tête au droit, nous pourrions avoir affaire aussi bien au portrait d'Apollon, copié directement sur les bronzes de Marseille qu'à celui de Vénus, peut-être imité des bronzes d'Antibes. Aucun attribut ne permet d'affirmer que nous sommes en présence d'un portrait d'Artémis.
On this example, the legends are off-flank on the obverse, but complete on the reverse. When we look at the head on the obverse, we could be dealing with a portrait of Apollo, copied directly from the Marseille bronzes, or that of Venus, perhaps imitated from the Antibes bronzes. There is no attribute that allows us to affirm that we are in the presence of a portrait of Artemis.

Historical background
GALLIA - VOLCÆ ARECOMICI (Area of Nîmes)
(1st century BC)
The Arecomic Volques, from the same group or people (volk) would have emigrated from the Danubian regions to come and settle in southern Gaul in the 3rd century BC. Installed on part of the current departments of Gard and Hérault, their capital was Nemausus (Nîmes). It is normally on their territory that Narbo Martius (Narbonne) was founded in 118 BC, which was to become the capital of the Provincia. Sources: Caesar (BG. VII, 7, 64); Strabo (G. IV, 1, 12).
