Commentary


Si cette drachme est à intégrer dans l’aire géographique du centre-ouest, il est difficile de l’attribuer avec précision. L’avers avec cette tête aux “mèches aquitaniques” est typique des séries 1262 et 1263 mais le revers est plus confus.

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.
