Commentary


Ce potin semble excessivement rare et n’a pas été repris par la plupart des ouvrages de référence. Nous n’en connaissons que trois autres ; l’un avec un défaut de coulée dans une collection privée, un au musée Puig de Perpignan (n° 416) et le n° 1303 de MONNAIE 36. C’est sans doute le cheval au pas qui a fait rapprocher ce potin des monnaies sénones LT. 7434 et 7437. Le type de droit est pourtant nettement différent !.

Historical background


SENONES (Area of Sens)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Sénons, whose name means the sages or the elders, controlled a vast territory which extended between the south of Champagne and the north of Burgundy. Their main oppidum was Agedincum (Sens) which still retains the name of the ancient civitas today. They had several other oppida like Auxerre, Tonnerre or Avallon. Divona seems to have been the principal sanctuary of the Senones. Caesar had wintered six of his legions in 53 BC at Agedincum. Labienus, Caesar's lieutenant and legate, came to settle in the region of Sens between Gergovie and Alesia in order to control the roads and protect Caesar's armies from an attack from the Belgians or the Germans. Caesar (BG. II, 2; V, 54, 56; VI, 2, 3, 44; VII, 4, 10, 11, 34, 56-59, 62, 75). Ptolemy (G. II, 8, 9).
