Un bilan sur la circulation monétaire préaugustéenne à Lattes
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: . The recent analysis of nearly 6,000 pre-Augustan coins found during the investigations at Lattes, through the first surveys by Henri Prades as in the programmed excavations, gave the opportunity to define the characteristics in the currency habit on the site and to set these informations in the background of Protohistoric coin circulations in southern Gaul. Besides, the discovery of four silver coin hoards, dated to the end of the 4th century up to mid 3rd century B. C., made it possible to raise the question of relations between local currency circulation, expanding very late and thesaurization which seems connected to trading activities on the site. Coin supplying of Lattes is dominated during the Iron Age until the changing era by Massaliote productions, always being the majority or exclusive to the early periods, but the diversity of other issues, notably Mediterranean, attests in its own way to the port activity.
