| Additional information |
The Lingones occupied territory in what is now Burgundy and Champagne, and their coinage reflects a tribe operating at the edge of Roman commercial influence without wholesale adoption of Roman monetary conventions. The delta symbol and half-rowel on this piece are control marks whose precise administrative function remains debated — they may distinguish emission batches, magistrates, or mint sites, none of which the Lingones left documented. KALETEDOY is among the more legible legends in Gaulish coinage and has been read as a personal name, likely that of a magistrate or chief overseeing the issue.
