Commentary
Poids très léger léger. Pour ce victoriat, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de trente coins de droit et de trente-sept coins de revers. Ce Victoriat semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Ce type ne semble pas avoir été copié dans le monnayage gaulois où pourtant les armes et les trophées tiennent une place importante. Néanmoins, le monnayage de bronze d’Antipolis (Antibes) présente une homotypie de contiguïté indéniable avec le revers du victoriat (LT. 2179 et suivants).
Very light weight. For this Victoriat, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of thirty obverse dies and thirty-seven reverse dies. This Victoriat seems rarer than general works suggest. This type does not seem to have been copied in Gallic coinage where, however, weapons and trophies hold an important place. Nevertheless, the bronze coinage of Antipolis (Antibes) presents an undeniable homotypy of contiguity with the reverse of the Victoriat (LT. 2179 and following)
