Commentary
La coiffure du droit est assez atypique et très bien venue sur cet exemplaire. Au revers, le centre de la croix n'est pas bouleté. Ce type, pourtant si reconnaissable, semble ne pas avoir été repris dans le Moneta 28.
The hairstyle on the obverse is quite atypical and very well placed on this example. On the reverse, the center of the cross is not rounded. This type, although so recognizable, does not seem to have been included in the Moneta 28

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".
