Commentary
Ce type de bronze est très rare ; ce n’est que le troisième semis à portrait que nous proposons. Le n° 691 de MONNAIES XXVI avait ce même type de droit mais un revers varié comparable au DT. 2484, considéré comme une liaison de classes (cl. I et II var. 1).
Avec cette légende CISIAMBOS au droit et MAVPENNOS.ARCANTODA au revers, cette variante semble inédite, hormis la n°376 de MONNAIES 61. La seule monnaie approchante (le BN. 7158) est reprise comme monnaie type du RIG. 108 et pour le DT. 2485, mais dans un piètre état et avec seulement la seconde partie de la légende du revers.
Notre exemplaire particulièrement complet permet de restituer un hybride avec un avers du type au portrait et un revers du type à la fleur !
Cette monnaie est donc un hybride inédit qui permet de confirmer la lecture du LT. 7158, reprise comme monnaie type.
This type of bronze is very rare; it is only the third portrait semi-precious coin that we offer. No. 691 of MONNAIES XXVI had this same type of obverse but a varied reverse comparable to DT. 2484, considered as a link of classes (cl. I and II var. 1). With this legend CISIAMBOS on the obverse and MAVPENNOS.ARCANTODA on the reverse, this variant seems unprecedented, apart from No. 376 of MONNAIES 61. The only similar coin (BN. 7158) is taken as the type coin of RIG. 108 and for DT. 2485, but in poor condition and with only the second part of the reverse legend. Our particularly complete example allows us to restore a hybrid with an obverse of the portrait type and a reverse of the flower type! This coin is therefore an unprecedented hybrid which allows us to confirm the reading of the LT. 7158, taken as standard coin

Historical background
LEXOVII (Area of Lisieux)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Lexovians, a small Celtic people, had Noviomagus (Lisieux) as their main oppidum. Their territory was bounded by the hills of the Perche and the sea. According to Strabo, the Lexovians would have been excellent traders, exchanging tin from Brittany and lead from Cornwall for wine and oil from Italy. They are cited several times by Caesar in his Commentaries. The Lexovian contingent for the relief army sent to Alesia was included in the twenty thousand men counted for all the peoples along the ocean and "who call themselves Armoricans". However, the Lexovians do not belong to the Armorican group. Caesar (BG. III, 9, 11, 17, 29). Kruta: 351, 366.
