Denier with helmeted head CVBIO

Aversbeschreibung	Stylized male head facing left in the Gallic artistic tradition, wearing a helmet whose base is rendered in beaded relief. The facial features — eye, nose, and lips — are sharply pointed and schematically rendered, characteristic of late La Tène Celtic coinage. Sideburns and the neck area are also delineated by rows of beading, imparting a highly decorative, linear quality to the effigy. The overall style reflects the abstracted portraiture common to the Nitiobroges tribe of Southwestern Gaul.

Zusätzliche Informationen	The Nitiobroges occupied the Lot and Garonne valleys in what is now southwest France, and their coinage reflects a tribe caught between sustained Aquitanian cultural influence and the creeping pressure of Roman expansion following Caesar's campaigns of the 50s BC. The CVBIO inscription likely denotes a magistrate or chieftain name — a practice borrowed from Roman administrative coinage rather than native Gaulish tradition. LT 4123 is among the sparser documented types in the Larousse-Tournaire corpus, with find concentrations clustering around Agen, the probable tribal center known to Romans as Aginnum.
