• Resumen

  • Two old finds of Armorican coins, at Roz-Landrieux (Ille-et-Vilaine) in 1907 and Merdrignac (Côtes-d’Armor) in 1867, are routinely cited among lists of hoards predominantly composed of coins of the Coriosolitae. A cursory inspection of the percentage figures quoted for each of the six standard classes of this coinage, however, reveals that errors must have been made in the interpretation of the antiquarian records which have been repeated since Colbert de Beaulieu first published them in 1973. This article attempts to uncover how and why these errors were made, and where possible to suffest some more accurate figures.
