Commentary


Poids léger. La couleur de cet exemplaire est encore très jaune, mais il doit contenir une part importante de cuivre. L’appellation à l’hippophore vient du personnage qui est placé sous le cheval au revers (mot à mot celui qui porte le cheval où hippos se traduit par cheval et phoros par qui porte, en grec).

Historical background


NAMNETES (Area of Nantes)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

Armorican people, the Namnètes were installed at the mouth of the Loire whose course separated them from the Pictons. Their name is retained by that of the city of Nantes. Their maritime role seems to have been important and they participated in the operations against the Romans in 56 BC and supported the Venetian fleet. It is among the Veneti that Strabo places the port of tin, Corbilo. Caesar (BG. III, 9). Strabo (G. IV, 2, 1).
