Commentary


Cette monnaie de billon est très intéressante, avec une épigraphie assez exceptionnelle ; le nom d'ADIETVANVS est presque complet, ainsi que la légende SOTIOTA au revers. La drachme n° 515** du Savès est très proche de celle proposé ici ; elle provenait de Vic-Fezensac.

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - SOTIATES (Area of Sos)

(1st century BC)

The Sotiates or Sontiates inhabited the southwest of the current department of Lot-et-Garonne, as well as part of the Gers and the Landes, and were placed between the Elusates and the Nitiobroges. Their oppidum was Sos. If the people of the Sotiates is not itself mentioned in the Commentaries, Adietuanus, their leader, is (BG. III, 22). The latter was submitted by Publius Licinius Crassus, lieutenant of Caesar, the son of Crassus who was to die in 53 BC at the battle of Carrhae, moreover with his son. Adietanus would have surrendered to Caesar's lieutenant only after the capitulation of Sos, the capital of his people. Rallying to the Romans, the sotiate chief received the title of "Rex". Sources: Caesar (BG. III, 20, 21 and 22).
