Commentary


Si ce type de petite obole se rapproche des monnaies attribuées aux Nédènes, avec le cheval se retournant, ce type précis semblait inédit lors du passage en vente du n° 1500 de MONNAIES 38. Pour ce style si particulier, nous n’avions pas rencontré d’autre exemplaire depuis MONNAIES 38, jusqu’à un petit lot de quatre monnaies conservées en collection privée depuis des années, présenté en février 2017.
Le style rappelle aussi certaines monnaies trévires. Il est intéressant de noter des similitudes stylistiques et typologiques entre des monnayages de l’Est (ou de l’Allemagne du sud) et du sud-est !.
Although this type of small obol is similar to the coins attributed to the Nedenes, with the horse turning around, this specific type seemed unprecedented when issue 1500 of MONNAIES 38 was put up for sale. For this very particular style, we had not encountered any other example since MONNAIES 38, until a small lot of four coins kept in a private collection for years, presented in February 2017. The style is also reminiscent of certain Treveran coins. It is interesting to note stylistic and typological similarities between coins from the East (or South Germany) and the Southeast!

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.
