Commentary
Selon la RN 1996, ce type au cavalier et au bouclier appartient à la série P II B. Cette tête aquitanique sans collier au droit et sans la croisette sur la joue, associée à un revers à la main est très rare. Dix exemplaires ont été étudiés par C. Sarthre dans la RN 1996.
L'attribution proposée dans le Nouvel Atlas est aux Bituriges, de même que les drachmes dites "au cavalier ailé des Pictons". Si l'attribution aux Pictons n'est pas totalement satisfaisante pour ces drachmes "au cavalier et bouclier", tout attribuer aux Bituriges nous semble assez arbitraire….
According to the RN 1996, this type with a rider and shield belongs to the P II B series. This Aquitanian head without a collar on the right and without the cross on the cheek, associated with a lapel in the hand is very rare. Ten examples were studied by C. Sarthre in the RN 1996. The attribution proposed in the New Atlas is to the Bituriges, as are the drachmas called \\\"with the winged rider of the Pictons\\\". If the attribution to the Pictons is not entirely satisfactory for these drachmas \\\"with the rider and shield\\\", attributing everything to the Bituriges seems rather arbitrary to us...
