Commentary
Au revers, la rouelle n’est pas complète au revers ; il s’agit en fait d’une demi roue, comme sur le denier DT. 3197 qui est d’ailleurs très proche de celui proposé ici, tant pour le droit que pour le revers.
Cette variante est rare, ce n’est que le troisième que nous proposons (et le plus beau) sur plus de 300 denier KALETEDOY !
Le centrage asocié à des flans souvent trop courts empèche souvent d’avoir la roue complète ; ce n’est pas du tout le cas ici.
On the reverse, the wheel is not complete on the reverse; it is in fact a half wheel, as on the denier DT. 3197 which is also very close to the one proposed here, both for the obverse and the reverse. This variant is rare, it is only the third that we propose (and the most beautiful) out of more than 300 KALETEDOY deniers! The centering associated with often too short blanks often prevents having the complete wheel; this is not at all the case here

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - LINGONES (Area of Langres)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The territory of the Lingons was very vast, straddling the current department of Haute-Marne and part of the Côte d'Or, Yonne and Aube. Their capital was located in Langres. They were surrounded by the Sequani, the Mandubians, the Leuci, the Remes, the Suessions, the Senones and the Aedui. It was one of the largest civitas in Gaul. Langres, which has kept their name, seems to have been one of their oppida. Allies of the Romans, they did not take part in the War. The Helvetians, during their retreat after the defeat of Bibracte, crossed the Lingon territory. And in 52 BC, they did not send emissaries, did not join the revolt and did not participate in the relief army sent to Vercingetorix. On the other hand, in 51 before J. - C., they provided a contingent of cavalry to the Romans in order to fight the Bellovaques and the Belgians. They therefore remained faithful to the Roman alliance. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. Caesar (BG. I, 26, 40; IV, 10; VI, 44; VII, 9, 63, 66; VIII, 11). Kruta: 21,111, 184, 187, 201, 251.
