Commentary


Ce type ne semble pas avoir été isolé par S. Scheers en 1982 et constituerait une variante de la classe 2. Le type est néanmoins très proche des exemplaires en billon alors que celui-ci, encore jaunâtre, contient encore une quantité non négligeable d’or. 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).
