Commentary


Cet exemplaire n’est que le second que nous proposons après le n° 901 de MONNAIES 45.
Ce type au cavalier est repris par L. Villaronga comme série 6-5. Douze exemplaires sont répertoriés ; un à Péronne, un à la BN, un au British Museum, un à Arxiu et les n° 102 à 109 du trésor du Languedoc. Établir des liaisons de coins est difficile en raison de la moindre qualité des exemplaires répertoriés.

Historical background


EMPORION and Celtic imitations (AMPURIAS)

(3rd - 2nd century BC)

The notion of people or tribe seems to disappear with regard to certain attributions when we examine the imitation coins of Emporion or Rhodè. If the prototypes are struck beyond the Pyrenees, the imitations were issued on both sides of the mountain range. The early death of R. Boudet (1958-1995) did not allow him to establish a corpus of these coins. The finds are not limited to Aquitaine, but are spread over the great West between the Loire and the Pyrenees, i.e. nearly a third of the territory of ancient Gaul. The finds of imitations of the drachma of Emporion, which seems to have had a wider distribution, are numerous and spread over the whole of the geographical area: from Charnizay in the Indre-et-Loire or Issoudun in the 'Indre to Ruscino in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
