Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire, la tête est simplifiée, mais encore facilement identifiable. Le revers est typique, avec un très gros globule au centre de la croix et de longues lunules qui ferment presque la roue (cf. S. 499-500).

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".
