Commentary


Au revers, la légende VIPT semble hors flan. Mais ce type de bronze est censé être anépigraphe au droit alors qu'on devine sur cet exemplaire une sorte d'épigraphie très géométrique devant le visage. Le Nouvel Atlas illustre for justement deux monnaies ; le DT. 3691 avec cette même légende ou pseudo-légende au droit et le DT. 3692 avec seulement VIPT au revers.

Historical background


PICTONES / CENTER WEST, Unspecified

(1st century BC)

Several types traditionally given to the Pictons see their attribution questioned for a more general geographical area such as Center-West or Great-West of Gaul. Some also propose an attribution to a military workshop, perhaps linked to the Aedui... We must not imagine or dream of the Gallic, or even Celtic, economic space as closed. coins prove us wrong every day.
