Commentary


Seuls deux exemplaires de ce rare bronze sont conservés à la BN (4296-4297), ainsi que deux autres au musée de Lyon (659-660). Bien que proposé aux Bituriges dans Monnaies XV, ce bronze serait plutôt a réattribuer au Poitou (cf. MONNAIES XV, n° 428).

Historical background


CENTRE-WEST or PICTONES (Area of Poitiers)

(1st century BC)

The Pictons appear several times in the Gallic Wars (III, 11; VII, 4 and 75; VIII, 26 and 27). Their capital was Lemonum (Poitiers). They rallied Vercingetorix and recognized him as leader. The Pictons sent 8,000 men to rescue Alesia.
