This paper offers a review of the current state of affairs concerning the most abundant and most complex coinage of southern Gaul, viz. the “monnaies à la croix”. Over forty years after J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu’s work, the current state of affairs allows to apprehend and understand the dynamics of this coinage in a more accurate and scientific way. This review has been made possible by the increase in both archaeological data and research activities. Beginning with J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu’s thematic approaches, the paper then passes on to introducing a new approach based on chronology, metrology and circulation of the “monnaies à la croix”.
