Drachm with triangular head

The Cadurci were a Gallic tribe occupying the Quercy region, the area around modern Cahors, whose resistance to Roman expansion culminated in their siege by Caesar's lieutenants during the Gallic Wars. Coinage of this type belongs to the broader tradition of Gaulish silver struck in the late La Tène period, when tribal mints produced issues that diverged sharply from their Mediterranean prototypes through successive generations of stylistic abstraction.

LT 3258 is classified within Blanchet and de La Tour's foundational typology, though die studies on Cadurci silver remain less systematic than for better-documented tribes of the Loire valley.
