Commentary
Ces deniers présentent une variété de légendes (au droit et/ou au revers) et d'éléments décoratifs entre les jambes du cheval.
Sur cet exemplaire, la légende ARIVOS est très en bord de flan au droit et on ne devine que le début de SANTONO au revers.
These coins feature a variety of legends (on the obverse and/or reverse) and decorative elements between the horse's legs. On this example, the legend ARIVOS is very close to the edge of the flan on the obverse and we can only make out the beginning of SANTONO on the reverse.

Historical background
GALLIA - SANTONES / MID-WESTERN, Unspecified
(1st century BC)
A large part of the coinage of the Center-West still poses delicate problems of restitution today. To the fine, sometimes very detailed attributions of the two previous centuries (19th and 20th centuries), the historians of Gaul, with a view to globalization, prefer to refer to large geographical groups. Isn't the most important thing today that we are in possession of the archaeological object itself? Nevertheless if, in the future, the attitude of the discoverers of coins, fortuitous discoveries or not, official or not, allied to the benevolence of our sometimes suspicious archaeologists could allow us, thanks to a close collaboration (collaborare, to work together in Latin) and extent of their respective competences, to have a better knowledge of the places of discoveries, we could see gradually disappearing all these attributions "uncertain this, uncertain that" for the greatest pleasure of each and the Knowledge of all.
