Commentary
La série 308B à laquelle appartient ce quart de statère se divise en deux catégories, selon que la tête est large ou petite. La distinction est assez peu flagrante sur ces quarts, souvent de frappe molle.
Cet exemplaire a été frappé avec les mêmes coins que la monnaie bga_269618.

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).
