Drachme "style à la tête négroïde", type hybride

The Nitiobroges occupied the Agenais region along the Garonne, and their coinage reflects sustained contact with neighboring Aquitanian and Iberian monetary traditions rather than straightforward Greco-Massalian inheritance. The "tête négroïde" stylistic group is defined by progressive abstraction of a prototype ultimately traceable to Massalian drachms, but the hybridization here suggests the Nitiobroges were drawing on multiple regional die-cutting workshops simultaneously rather than maintaining a single controlled mint.

At 1.80 g, this piece falls below the standard Massalian drachm weight, consistent with a broader southwest Gaulish tendency toward weight reduction across the second century BC.
