Commentary


Ce type de drachme, avec cette coiffure, est très rare ; trois ou quatre exemplaires sont conservés à la BN, un à Nantes et un à Rouen. Le Nouvel Atlas défend fort justement le travail de D. Nash sur ces séries ; cette drachme correspond à la classe I “tête à la coiffure classique et revers à la main”.

Historical background


PICTONES / BITURIGES - MID-WESTERN, Unspecified

(2nd - 1st century BC)

Many heavy drachmas, with a rider or superimposed horses are difficult to classify. These early coins originate from the confines of Berry and Touraine; often attributed to the Pictons or the Bituriges. If the typology does not make it possible to determine an attribution to such or such people, the distribution of the discoveries is hardly more precise and the conclusions of their metallic analysis are ultimately rather disappointing..
