Commentary


Cette drachme du type S. 306 a un revers rare, mais le droit est comme d’habitude fruste, ce qui ne permet pas d’en comprendre le motif (tête à droite ou à gauche).
This drachma of type S. 306 has a rare reverse, but the obverse is as usual crude, which does not allow us to understand the motif (head to the right or to the left)

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".
