Commentary


Contrairement aux monnaies S. 287-288, la “hache” du droit n’est pas perceptible. Cette tête, avec ce gros menton, et ce revers orné de globules correspondent à la monnaie S. 289 qui est mal photographiée. Cette drachme est aussi une dégénérescence de la monnaie S. 287 vendue dans MONNAIES XXIII, n° 728.
Cet exemplaire, malgré une surface recouverte d’une sorte de gangue, présente un annelet dans le troisième canton !.

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - LONGOSTALETES (Area of Narbonne)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

This people who occupied most of the departments of Aude and Hérault is mentioned neither by Ptolemy, nor by Strabo, nor by Caesar. Their coinage is known to us only by the treasures of Béziers (Hérault) discovered in 1871 and which contained between 750 and 800 coins of Languedoc style as well as that of Moussan in the Aude, discovered in 1967 and which contained 28 drachmas of style " Languedocian".
