Commentary
Souvent classé parmi les “rouelles gauloises”, ce genre d’objet nous semble plus proche des petites roues, genre modèle réduit. Il est parfois difficile de faire la part des choses, ce qui explique sa présence dans cette collection...
La nature du métal de ces petites roues est incertaine ; il ne s’agit ni de bronze, ni de potin, mais plus vraisemblablement d’étain diversement patiné selon la durée et le lieu de conservation.
Often classified among the “Gallic wheels”, this type of object seems to us closer to small wheels, like scale models. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between them, which explains its presence in this collection... The nature of the metal of these small wheels is uncertain; it is neither bronze nor potin, but more likely tin with various patinas depending on the duration and location of conservation

Historical background
"ROUELLES"
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Over the past twenty years, roundabouts have become very fashionable objects among the "Celtisians" and we have seen first the objects appear, then the "scientific" reference works which made the amalgamation between pieces really "ancient and Celtic" and all the rest whose fluctuating chronology goes from the 1st century of our era to ....... our days. Specialized studies, comparisons of material, archaeological inventories remain to be carried out before being able to decide and separate what is ancient from what is not..
