| Additional information |
The Volcae Arecomici occupied the region around Nemausus — modern Nîmes — and struck small silver fractions as Rome's grip on Gallia Narbonensis tightened following its formalization as a province in 118 BC. The "N" on this piece almost certainly references Nemausus itself, a practice of abbreviated civic identification seen across several Gallic silver series of the late Republic period. That the type carries no LT reference suggests it either postdates Blanchet's 1905 corpus or was insufficiently documented at the time of compilation.
