Commentary
Ce type de denier, avec la légende SANTONOS devant le visage, est plus rare que celui à légende ARIVOS au droit et SANTONO au revers (LT 4525).
Pour cette classe II, nous avons SANTONOS au droit tandis que le revers est anépigraphe (LT. 4520).
Il convient de distinguer deux variétés ; la première (DT. 3266) avec un annelet perlé entre les jambes du cheval, et la seconde (DT. 3267) avec un pentagramme à la place et une esse au-dessus du dos. D’après les exemplaire pointés et passés en vente, la proportion semble être d’un denier de la classe II pour vingt deniers de la classe I.

For this class II, we have SANTONOS on the right while the reverse is anepigraph (LT. 4520). Two varieties should be distinguished; the first (DT. 3266) with a beaded ringlet between the horse's legs, and the second (DT. 3267) with a pentagram instead and an esse above the back. According to the copies marked and put on sale, the proportion seems to be one denier of class II for twenty deniers of class I

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.
