Commentary
Cette pièce semble une dégénérescence du type normal. Ce bronze pourrait être directement imité sur certaines séries de bronzes lourds au taureau avec la victoire au revers (LT. 1476).
This coin seems to be a degeneration of the normal type. This bronze could be directly imitated on some series of heavy bronzes with the bull with victory on the reverse (LT. 1476)

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.
