Commentary
Les traces de coulée et de casse du flan sont visibles à 1 et 7 heures, ce qui rend la monnaie presque quadrangulaire. Dans son RIG - référence pour les légendes monétaires -, Brigitte Fischer donne la légende VIP.T ou VIPT ; notre exemplaire, comme celui gravé dans la RN 1860, donne plus l’impression de VIRT (comme le voyait A. Blanchet dans son Traité). La monnaie ne nous semblait pas excessivement rare mais est curieusement absente de la grande majorité des musées publics publiés.

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.
