Commentary


Ce type de drachme est exceptionnel ; il a été repris récemment dans le Complément au Nouvel Atlas, DT. S3367A comme drachme “au cavalier sans jambe”. L’attribution de cette monnaie est probablement comme toute la série de drachmes lourdes, entre Pictons, Biturges et Carnutes.
L’exemplaire du Nouvel Atlas est indiqué type inédit. Notre drachme serait alors le second exemplaire connu et vraisemblablement le plus complet et le plus beau !.
This type of drachma is exceptional; it was recently included in the Complement to the New Atlas, DT. S3367A as a drachma “with a legless rider”. The attribution of this coin is probably like the entire series of heavy drachmas, between Pictons, Biturges and Carnutes. The example in the New Atlas is indicated as an unpublished type. Our drachma would then be the second known example and probably the most complete and the most beautiful!

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..
