Comment

Matériel non retenu: Tilburg. G. Beex, Brabants Heem, 5, 1953, p. 128 [sans indication de source] – Bland-Loriot, no 188. N.B. Il semble qu’il s’agisse d’une confusion avec le solidus de Constantin III mis au jour à Goirle, commune limitrophe (Callu-Loriot, no 1601), d’autant que cette trouvaille n’est pas mentionnée dans l’article de G. Beex.
