Commentary

L’attribution aux Nédènes est hypothétique, par analogie avec les petits bronzes avec le cheval passant et la lettre ibérique TI.
L’animal du revers pourrait tout aussi être pris pour un taureau, ce qui ferait de cette monnaie un micro bronze de Marseille ou de son arrière pays.
The attribution to the Nedenes is hypothetical, by analogy with the small bronzes with the passing horse and the Iberian letter TI. The animal on the reverse could just as easily be taken for a bull, which would make this coin a micro bronze from Marseille or its hinterland.
