The Roman isolated gold coins are more likely than hoards to give a picture of the monetary stock locally available in various circles of society. The cause of its isolation can be varied : loss, hiding, religious offer. The sample for 12 «départements» in the west of France consists of 209 coins covering 535 years. The analysis of geographical and chronological repartitions leads to some hypothesis : quick but late penetration of gold ; bad économie integration of Armorica under the Julio-Claudians reflected by accumulations of inactive gold ; well balanced economy during the second century ; scarcity of coins during the third century except for the gallo-roman Empire ; wider circulation during the fourth and fifth centuries when gold is not necessarily connected with the presence of the army
