Commentary
Poids lourd. Semble de même coin de revers que l'exemplaire n° 289 de l'ouvrage de G. Savès (pl. XVI), provenant de la collection archéologique de Montpellier. Semble de mêmes coins que MONNAIES XV, n° 296, mais avec une cassure de coin visible au-dessus de la chevelure au droit. Ces deux exemplaires, ainsi que celui illustré dans le Savès, ont le même défaut de coin sur la branche de la croix, au deuxième canton.
Heavyweight. Appears to have the same reverse die as copy no. 289 of the work by G. Savès (pl. XVI), from the archaeological collection of Montpellier. Appears to have the same dies as COINS XV, no. 296, but with a die break visible above the hair on the obverse. These two examples, as well as the one illustrated in Savès, have the same die defect on the branch of the cross, in the second canton

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".
