Aulerci Diablintes, 1/4 de statère à la situle, 1st century BC
Profile to the right, with Apollonian traits, the hairstyle divided by a double headband formed of striated rectangular patterns evoking a laurel wreath. Behind, two buns formed by flame-like locks; before, the hair is made up of three S-shaped extended locks.
Androcephalic horse to right, surmounted by a charioteer holding a torque in his left hand and brandishing a strap with his right, attached in front (off-flan) to a fringed banner; below the horse, a reclining figure to right holding a large vase (Situla).
The flan is shorter than other known examples, so the figure is no longer visible and the situla is almost completely out of flan. Close to Dt. 2172, the reduction of the silver denomination, the type is referenced in the Delestrée addition as Dt. S 2168 A, the reduction of the gold denomination, here made of debased gold. Unfortunately, although the specimen has most of the details, they have been damaged by multiple scratches and marks on both sides. It is nonetheless a very rare specimen for this type, as it corresponds to a division of the primary denomination.
