Commentary


Cette rare obole avec chevaux superposés au revers est un des types les plus rare de cette série aux chevaux des Pictons/Bituriges.
Nous n’en avions jamais vu ni proposé à la vente.
Cet exemplaire, dans un état de conservation exceptionnel, est sans doute le plus bel exemplaire connu et surtout, contrairement à l’exemplaire DT 3359, la tête est ici clairement à droite, comme l’exemplaire DT S3359A mais d’un style beaucoup plus classique et sans l’annelet pointé au revers.

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..
