Commentary


Pour ce type PII B “à la tête aquitanique” mais sans la croisette bouletée au droit sur la joue, les auteurs de l'article de la RN 1996 ont étudié 14 monnaies. L’analyse métallique donne presque 90% d’argent et moins de 8% de cuivre.
Pour ces drachmes, le Numéraire celtique recense pourtant pas moins de 40 drachmes (sans distinction de coiffure) dont 3 à Bourges, 12 à la BN et 7 à Nantes. Le Nouvel Atlas défend fort justement le travail de D. Nash sur ces séries ; cette drachme correspond à la var. 1 de la classe II “à la tête aquitanique et à la main”.
For this type PII B “with the Aquitanian head” but without the boulette cross on the right cheek, the authors of the RN 1996 article studied 14 coins. The metallic analysis gives almost 90% silver and less than 8% copper. For these drachmas, the Celtic Numerary nevertheless lists no less than 40 drachmas (without distinction of hairstyle) including 3 in Bourges, 12 at the BN and 7 in Nantes. The New Atlas rightly defends the work of D. Nash on these series; this drachma corresponds to var. 1 of class II “with the Aquitanian head and the hand”

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..
