page 71 note 1 Based on the fact that there is no evidence from the dated deposits at Alesia or elsewhere for the existence of any of these coins before Caesar, but ample after. For pl. XVI, i-n, see La Meilleraie-Tilley, Pouzanges, hoard from Vendée, buried c. 10 B.C. (Bull de la Soc. Ant. de I'Ouest, 1922, pp. 661–703; Rev. Arch, de I'Est et du Centre Est, vi (1955), 267Google Scholar); for pl. XVI, 12–32, see A. Blanchet, TMG, 525–6 and refs. below, p. 73, n. 7; for pl. XVI, 33–43, see S.

Another silver coin with clear legend belinos, BN, Paris, 6378–80, is not considered here; the object below the horse on the reverse is described as a cornucopia, but appears to be shown in Hucher, E., Art Gaulois, ii, figs. 136–8, as a form of columnGoogle Scholar. There is no example in Britain and I have not been able to check this.

page 72 note 2 The carnyx takes two forms. On coins where the architrave is present, the goat head has two horns and the instrument is, as usual, segmented; on coins without an architrave, the forms are more rounded, the ears less prominent, and the segmentation less marked.

page 72 note 3 The form of sceptre resembles that carried by the rider on de la Tour L 9782 (Pink, MOK 129–30), which is seen as a separate emblem on e.g. de la Tour VI 2630, XVII 5836, XXXVIII 9000–13, and in Britain on gold staters of the Dobunni, etc.
