Commentary


Ce type est appelé “aux deux crosses opposées” selon le Nouvel Atlas, série 1044 : l’une avec un aurige accroupis, l’autre avec une victoire très dégénérée (comme notre exemplaire).
This type is called “with two opposing crosiers” according to the New Atlas, series 1044: one with a crouching charioteer, the other with a very degenerate victory (like our example)

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..
