Commentary
Cet exemplaire est d'un poids comparable aux autres exemplaires de ce type de Goutrens, mais d'un style tout particulier au droit, avec un visage plus fin et une chevelure beaucoup moins développée (cf. couverture de Moneta 28). En ce qui concerne le revers, les bras de la croix ne sont par perpendiculaires ; les cantons ont la même combinaison que celle connue, avec la rouelle aux rayons bien marqués.
This specimen is of a comparable weight to other specimens of this type from Goutrens, but of a very particular style on the obverse, with a finer face and much less developed hair (see cover of Moneta 28). As for the reverse, the arms of the cross are not perpendicular; the cantons have the same combination as that known, with the wheel with well-marked rays

Historical background
GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - RUTENI (Area of Rodez)
(1st century BC)
Neighbors of the Arvernes, the Cadurques and the Gabales, their territory corresponded to the former Rouergue (current department of Aveyron) to the north of the Tarn, the course of which constituted the border with the province of Narbonnaise. The Rutenes, allies of the Arvernes, had participated in the operations which led to the defeat of Bituit, king of the Arvernes in 121 BC and the creation of the province of Narbonnaise. On this occasion, the Rutenes had found themselves cut in two, following the natural border of the Tarn. Active in the coalition against the Romans in 52 BC, they provided a contingent of 12,000 men to the relief army. Sources: Caesar (BG. I, 45; VII, 5, 64, 75 and 90).
