| Additional information |
The Bituriges Cubi occupied the Berry region of central Gaul, with Avaricum (modern Bourges) as their principal oppidum. Their bronze fractional coinage was almost certainly produced to facilitate local market exchange rather than tribute payments, which typically ran in gold. Issues of this type tend to surface in archaeological contexts along the Cher valley, consistent with use in and around the tribal center rather than wider regional distribution.
The DT 3489–3490 variety designation reflects the loose die-link groupings documented by Delestrée and Tache — the "var." suffix here signals a minor departure from the plate coins, not a distinct emission.
