Commentary
Ce bronze d'un type excessivement rare (seulement deux exemplaires connus à la BN) complète la légende connue jusqu'alors. La légende de revers NAMA a été prise en compte par Duchalais pour attribuer ce bronze à la ville de Nîmes. Avec l'épigraphie ARCANTO qui permet de restituer la légende complète, il est possible de suggérer que NAVMV serait en fait un nom de personnage portant le titre d'Arcantodan. Contrairement à l'exemplaire BN 2708 qui illustre le RIG, ce bronze n'a pas le pentagramme entre les jambes du cheval.
