Commentary
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).

This type does not seem to have been copied in Gallic coinage where, however, weapons and trophies hold an important place.
