Commentary
Ce type, découvert au Nord-Ouest de la Corrèze, est décrit par Marc Parvérie dans son article “Des drachmes lourdes de Bridiers et dérivées de Bridiers découvertes en Limousin” (Bulletin de la Société numismatique du Limousin, février 2015 ; fig.10, p.5). Ce type est à rapprocher des drachmes “aux deux chevaux”, “au cavalier et au bouclier”, et “au loup et au cheval”.

Historical background
GALLIA - LEMOVICES (Area of Limoges)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Celtic people who left their name in Limoges and Limousin. The origin of its name comes once again from lemo or limo which can be translated as elm. Skilled traders, specialized in export, they were perhaps the secret allies of the Romans which could explain Caesar's silence on this people who nevertheless extended their power to the Atlantic coasts. Nevertheless, Caesar estimates at ten thousand men the Lemovice contingent sent against him to clear Alesia in 52 BC. After the conquest, from 50 BC, Caesar would have installed several Roman camps on the Lemovice territory in order to be able to monitor the Arvernian territory. Caesar (BG. VII, 4, 75, 88). Strabo (G. IV, 2, 2).
