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...

Historical background


PICTONES / BITURIGES - MID-WESTERN, Unspecified

(2nd - 1st century BC)

Many heavy drachmas, with a rider or superimposed horses are difficult to classify. These early coins originate from the confines of Berry and Touraine; often attributed to the Pictons or the Bituriges. If the typology does not make it possible to determine an attribution to such or such people, the distribution of the discoveries is hardly more precise and the conclusions of their metallic analysis are ultimately rather disappointing..
