| Beschrijving keerzijde | An androcephalic horse—bearing a human head—advances to the right in the field, rendered in the abstract, disjointed style typical of Armorican and northwestern Gaulish coinage. Above the horse, a highly stylized charioteer figure is depicted brandishing a whip and holding a torc, both attributes of aristocratic or divine symbolism. Beneath the horse, a recumbent human figure is shown lying to the right, holding a situla (a bucket-shaped vessel), which serves as the defining typological element of this emission. The composition is dynamic and fills the flan with characteristic La Tène curvilinear energy, with subsidiary pellets or annulets possibly present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Aulerci Diablintes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Mayenne in northwestern Gaul, a tribe small enough that their coinage series is narrow and their civic identity largely reconstructed through numismatic evidence alone. The situla — a bucket-shaped vessel associated with ritual and feasting — appears on their staters at a moment when Gaulish tribes were under intensifying Roman pressure following Caesar's campaigns, making the persistence of indigenous iconographic choices a deliberate act of cultural assertion rather than artistic convention.
DT 2169 and 2170 represent two die-linked variants within the type; distinguishing them in hand requires close attention to the disposition of the pellet groupings.
