| Additional information |
The Lingones occupied territory in what is now Burgundy and Champagne, and their coinage circulated in a region repeatedly disrupted by the migrations of the late second and first centuries BC — including the Helvetian exodus of 58 BC that drew Caesar into Gaul. The wheel motif on this type has been linked by some scholars to a solar or votive function rather than purely decorative convention, though the precise meaning remains debated. KALETEDOY is among the few legible inscriptions on Lingonian issues, and its interpretation — likely a personal name or magistrate's title — remains unresolved in the literature.
