Commentary


Ce potin est excessivement rare ; à première vue il correspond aux classiques potins des Aulerques. A. Bodson est le premier à l’avoir distingué (dans son article sur ces séries dans le BCEN 42 du mois d’aout 2005). Il ne disposait que d’un dessin et d’un second exemplaire publié sur le forum d’E. Wendling.
Ce potin est très particulier au droit, avec un avers “hémiglobulaire” avec une sorte de triskèle. Le revers est lui aussi atypique, avec deux esses couchées dans la partie supérieure et trois chevrons accostés d’un annelet dans la partie inférieure.

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. Caesar (BG. II, 4; VII, 75; VIII, 8). Strabo (G. IV, 1); Pliny (HN. IV, 107). Ptolemy (G. II, 8). Kruta: 70.
