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.
