Commentary


Si le revers est un classique pour les languedociennes, avec une oreille dans un des cantons, le droit est nettement plus complexe : plusieurs monnaies types en sont proches, sans y correspondre exactement (cf. S. 285-286, 309)..
If the reverse is a classic for the Languedoc women, with an ear in one of the cantons, the obverse is clearly more complex: several typical coins are close to it, without corresponding exactly (cf. S. 285-286, 309).

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - LONGOSTALETES (Area of Narbonne)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

This people who occupied most of the departments of Aude and Hérault is mentioned neither by Ptolemy, nor by Strabo, nor by Caesar. Their coinage is known to us only by the treasures of Béziers (Hérault) discovered in 1871 and which contained between 750 and 800 coins of Languedoc style as well as that of Moussan in the Aude, discovered in 1967 and which contained 28 drachmas of style " Languedocian".
