Bronze EKPITO

Beschrijving voorzijde	Degraded effigy of a human head facing left, rendered in a schematic Gallo-Celtic style. The hair is depicted in three distinct rows of fine, tightly arranged curls, a characteristic artistic convention of the Lingones coinage. The facial features are summarily struck, with details partially lost to flan irregularity and die wear. The field surrounding the bust is plain, with no visible legend or inscription on this side.

Aanvullende informatie	The Lingones occupied territory in what is now the Haute-Marne and Côte-d'Or departments of France, a region that placed them at the crossroads of trans-Alpine trade routes during the late Gaulish period. Their bronze coinage is among the more poorly documented in the La Tène monetary corpus, with EKPITO interpreted by most authorities as a magistrate's or moneyer's name — a naming convention that became increasingly common among Gaulish tribes as Roman administrative influence crept northward in the decades before Caesar's campaigns.
