Stater

The Veneti were a maritime tribe of Armorica whose confrontation with Rome came to a head in 56 BC, when Caesar's legate Decimus Brutus destroyed their fleet in the Gulf of Morbihan — effectively ending Venetic political independence. Coin production of this type likely straddles that event, with earlier strikes circulating among a still-autonomous people and later ones produced under increasingly constrained circumstances.

The "var." designation against LT#6667 is worth noting: Venetic silver staters show meaningful die variation across the series, and the specific traits separating this piece from the type coin should be documented against Delestrée-Tache's corpus before attribution is considered settled.
