| Additional information |
The Pictones occupied the Atlantic coast of Gaul, roughly modern Poitou, and were among the tribes that resisted Caesar's campaigns most tenaciously — their chief Dumnacus led a significant relief force during the siege of Lemonum in 52–51 BC. Coinage of this tribe is poorly documented in ancient sources, and attribution of specific types to the Pictones rests primarily on find-spot concentration rather than explicit ancient testimony.
DT 3651 represents one of the later issues of a tradition that had been steadily debasing the electrum alloy across successive strikings.
