Commentary
Ce type de bronze épigraphe VRIDO.RVF est de loin le plus rare de toute la série des petits bronzes de ce module. Ce n’est que la seconde fois que nous le présentons après le bga_172849. La légende était lue VRDO-RI par A. de Barthélemy qui signalait des provenances autour de Périgueux, alors que les auteurs du RIG retiennent VRIDO.RVF, avec de multiples ligatures. Plus d'un tiers des exemplaires répertoriés proviennent de Charente.
Historical background
GALLIA - SANTONES / MID-WESTERN, Unspecified
(1st century BC)
A large part of the coinage of the Center-West still poses delicate problems of restitution today. To the fine, sometimes very detailed attributions of the two previous centuries (19th and 20th centuries), the historians of Gaul, with a view to globalization, prefer to refer to large geographical groups. Isn't the most important thing today that we are in possession of the archaeological object itself? Nevertheless if, in the future, the attitude of the discoverers of coins, fortuitous discoveries or not, official or not, allied to the benevolence of our sometimes suspicious archaeologists could allow us, thanks to a close collaboration (collaborare, to work together in Latin) and extent of their respective competences, to have a better knowledge of the places of discoveries, we could see gradually disappearing all these attributions "uncertain this, uncertain that" for the greatest pleasure of each and the Knowledge of all.
