Additional information

The "Tayac au Trident" group takes its name from the site of Tayac in the Gironde, where a significant hoard was discovered in the nineteenth century, concentrating scholarly attention on southwest Gallia Celtica as the likely production zone. Attribution to a specific tribe remains contested — the Bituriges Vivisci and the Nitiobroges have both been proposed without consensus.

These staters descend from Macedonian gold prototypes filtered through successive generations of Gaulish reinterpretation, the original imagery progressively abstracted across minting generations until the source is barely traceable. DT 3623 sits at an advanced stage of that abstraction.
