Commentary


Exemplaire particulièrement lourd pour cette série dont les exemplaires que nous avons proposés se situent entre 2,57 grammes et 3,52 grammes. Même le bga_361962 en état neuf ne pesait que 3,30 grammes. Un tel écart de poids est inhabituel pour les monnaies à la croix qui sont plutôt très proche du poids moyen. Cette série classée en S. 198 nous réserve peut-être encore des surprises si les poids sont associés à des styles ou des variantes variées....
A particularly heavy specimen for this series, the specimens we have offered of which range between 2.57 grams and 3.52 grams. Even the mint bga_361962 weighed only 3.30 grams. Such a weight difference is unusual for cross coins, which are rather very close to the average weight. This series, classified as S. 198, may still have some surprises in store for us if the weights are associated with various styles or variants...

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - PETROCORES / NITIOBROGES, Unspecified

(2nd century BC)

The Pétrocores whose territory extended between the Dordogne and the Vézère on the current department of the Dordogne, (the former Périgord) had Périgueux for capital. They were part of Celtic Gaul and will then be attached to Aquitaine. They appear late as the Nitiobroges at the time of the final phase of the Gallic Wars. The so-called "flamboyant style" coins circulated both among some and among others..
