Commentary
Si les oboles au N sont relativement rares, les oboles au T se rencontrent encore plus rarement. Selon le répertoire de G. Depeyrot, les oboles au T ne sont que d'un seul type (tête à gauche) ; il ne recense que les quatre exemplaires de la BN. Les poids sont de 0,43, 0,52, 0,45 et enfin 0,41 gramme pour une obole fourrée. Cet exemplaire est dans la moyenne, avec 0,45 gramme.

Historical background
GALLIA - VOLCÆ ARECOMICI (Area of Nîmes)
(1st century BC)
The Arecomic Volques, from the same group or people (volk) would have emigrated from the Danubian regions to come and settle in southern Gaul in the 3rd century BC. Installed on part of the current departments of Gard and Hérault, their capital was Nemausus (Nîmes). It is normally on their territory that Narbo Martius (Narbonne) was founded in 118 BC, which was to become the capital of the Provincia. Sources: Caesar (BG. VII, 7, 64); Strabo (G. IV, 1, 12).
