Bronze with eagle

The Volcae Arecomici occupied the region around Nemausus — modern Nîmes — and struck bronze small change during a period of deepening Roman administrative pressure in Gallia Narbonensis, formally organized as a province in 118 BC. Their coinage reflects a tribe navigating accommodation with Rome rather than resisting it; Nemausus itself would soon become a Roman colony, rendering indigenous issues like this one obsolete within a generation.
