Commentary
Sur cette obole, la crinière est bouletée alors qu’elle est lisse sur l’exemplaire illustrant l’ouvrage de L. Villaronga. Ce type d’obole semble systématiquement plus lourd d’environ un dixième de gramme que les monnaies précédentes.
On this obol, the mane is rounded, whereas it is smooth on the copy illustrating L. Villaronga's work. This type of obol seems systematically heavier by about a tenth of a gram than the previous coins.

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.
