Commentary
Sur ce quart de statère, l’hippophore, placé sous le cheval finit par occuper une place plus importante que celle du cheval.
On this quarter stater, the hippophore, placed under the horse, ends up occupying a more important place than that of the horse

Historical background
NAMNETES (Area of Nantes)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Armorican people, the Namnètes were installed at the mouth of the Loire whose course separated them from the Pictons. Their name is retained by that of the city of Nantes. Their maritime role seems to have been important and they participated in the operations against the Romans in 56 BC and supported the Venetian fleet. It is among the Veneti that Strabo places the port of tin, Corbilo. Caesar (BG. III, 9). Strabo (G. IV, 2, 1).
