Commentary


Ce rare type de billon, considéré comme un type original proche du BN. 3844, est attribué dans le Nouvel Atlas dans les monnaies de la périphérie arverne, à l'attribution incertaine.
Les rares lieux de trouvaille signalés se situeraient à l’ouest du Massif Central. Il existerait des monnaies d’argent (DT. 3610) et d’autres en bronze (DT. 3610A). Il est plus vraisemblable de penser qu’il s’agit de billon, plus ou moins blanc et plus ou mieux conservés !
Cet exemplaire a nettement un triskèle au-dessus du cheval et semble en avoir un autre entre les jambes, et non pas un serpent comme indiqué dans la description du DT. 3610A.
This rare type of billon, considered an original type close to BN. 3844, is attributed in the New Atlas to the coins of the Arverne periphery, with uncertain attribution. The rare find sites reported are located to the west of the Massif Central. There are silver coins (DT. 3610) and others in bronze (DT. 3610A). It is more likely to think that it is a billon, more or less white and more or better preserved! This example clearly has a triskelion above the horse and seems to have another between the legs, and not a snake as indicated in the description of DT. 3610A

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.
