Commentary


Quart de même coin de revers que le bga_364341 de la collection Jobal, sans la rouelle à quatre rayons devant le cheval
Cet exemplaire semble correspondre de très près au n° 283 du Traité de Simone Scheers qui ne recensait que huit exemplaires de cette classe III (BN. 8937-8940, un exemplaire au MAN, un à Metz, un au musée de Bar et un autre à la Haye).

Historical background


MEDIOMATRICI (Area of Metz)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Médiomatriques were a very powerful people of Belgian Gaul. They were strongly Romanized and owed their wealth to the salt trade. They were installed on the Moselle and controlled part of the Vosges and Alsace. They had for neighbors the Treveri, the Remi, the Lingones, the Leuci and the Sequani. They provided a contingent of five thousand men for the relief army intended to free Alesia. Their main oppidum was Divodurum (Metz). Caesar (BG. IV, 10; VII, 75).
