Commentary
La légende est difficilement lisible au droit, mais particulièrement complète au revers ! Au droit, la tête a une sorte de bonnet dont l'extrémité retombe sur le dessus de la tête.
Ce type de bronze est très rare ; L. Villaronga n’en avait étudié que 7 et le classait en R6.
The legend is difficult to read on the obverse, but particularly complete on the reverse! On the obverse, the head has a sort of cap whose end falls back on top of the head. This type of bronze is very rare; L. Villaronga had only studied 7 and classified it as R6

Historical background
GALLIA - NEDENES (oppidum of Montlaures)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
This small people is neither cited by Ptolemy nor by Strabo any more than by Caesar. He must have belonged to the more general group of Longostaletes, in the region between Narbonne and Béziers. It is the recent excavations, carried out over the past thirty years, which have made it possible to restore to the oppida of Montlaurès and Ensérune the importance they had acquired between the creation of the province of Narbonnaise, in 118 BC. C., and the end of the Gallic Wars.
