Commentary


Selon L.-P. Delestrée, cette série d’hémistatères et de quarts de statères proviendrait des environs de Fécamp, sur le littoral des Calètes (pays de Caux), cf. RN 2001.
Cet exemplaire présente une superbe rouelle bien visible sur la joue au droit et une autre un peu moins nette entre les jambes du cheval au revers. La chevelure est très fouillée, agrémentée de multiples petits globules.

Historical background


GALLIA - CALETI (Area of Pays de Caux)

(4th - 2nd century BC)

The Calètes, people of Belgium, were sometimes considered Armoricans. They occupied part of the current department of Seine-Maritime with the countries of Caux and Bray. Their neighbors were the Véliocasses, the Bellovaques, of whom they were clients, and the Ambiens. The Calètes would have provided a contingent of ten thousand men to the Belgian coalition under the leadership of the Bellovaques in 57 BC. In 52 BC, they participated with the seven Armorican peoples in sending twenty thousand men for the relief army, destined to deliver Alesia. In 51 BC, they took part in the revolt of the Belgian peoples, led by the Bellovaci. Two of their main oppida were in Bracquemont and Fécamp. In Roman times, their capital was Juliobona, Lillebonne.
