Commentary
Le cheval du revers semble avoir une démarche de parade, comme sur certains deniers de Gaule Chevelue (NERCOD par exemple).
Variante intéressante avec une rouelle entre les jambes du cheval.
The horse on the reverse seems to have a parade gait, as on certain denarii from Hairy Gaul (NERCOD for example). Interesting variant with a wheel between the horse's legs
