Commentary
Comme le n°3 du trésor de Puteaux, ce statère a été frappé avec les coins D1 et R3, de la classification établie par J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu lors de son étude du monnayage des Parisii (même coin de droit que les n° 1-3 et de revers que les n° 3-5 du même trésor). Il s’agit également des mêmes coins que la monnaie bga_364273 que nous avions proposé dans une ancienne vente LIVE et qui avait alors réalisé 21000€ hors frais.
Historical background
PARISII (Area of Paris)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Parisii were a small but powerful people whose oppidum was Lutèce. Related to the Sénons, the Parisii and the city would have emancipated themselves from their tutelage, relatively late, after the Arverne defeat of 121 BC. The wealth of the Parisii rested on the river control of the Seine and the confluences with the Marne, Bièvre, Ourcq and Oise. César chooses Lutèce, in 53 before J. - C. to convene the assembly of the Gallic peoples. The Parisii were among the first to answer the call of Vercingetorix, the following year, in 52 BC, and they provided a contingent of eight thousand men for the relief army. Watched over by Labienus, friend and legate of Caesar, the territory of the Parisii was the scene of the last battles between Gauls and Romans. Eventually, the Aulercan chief Camulogenes was defeated and killed near Lutetia. Caesar (BG. VI, 3; VII, 4, 34, 57, 75). Kruta: 36, 40 46, 68, 365, 368.
