Commentary

Le taureau du revers laisse à penser qu’il s’agit d’une imitation d’inspiration marseillaise, mais sans doute pas de Marseille.
Le style du revers est très proche du bronze DOUGILLOS n° 1, reproduit dans les Mélanges offerts à J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu, page 209.
The bull on the reverse suggests that this is an imitation inspired by Marseille, but probably not from Marseille. The style of the reverse is very close to the bronze DOUGILLOS No. 1, reproduced in the Mélanges offert à J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu, page 209
