Commentary


Les diamètres et l’orientation des moules semblent être systématiquement 21-22 millimètres et 12 ou 1 heures.
Si le nombre d’annelets au droit semble varier avec une marge de plus ou moins deux, les exemplaires observés ont tous onze annelets au revers, au-dessus du cheval, et un grènetis perlé sous le cheval !
Bien que les exemplaires passant sur le marché soient très rares, les auteurs du Moneta recensent au total 52 potins de ce type (sous réserve de vérification systématique). Cette série est pourtant plus rare qu’il n’y parait et semble être extrêmement standardisée.

Historical background


GALLIA BELGICA - SUESSIONES (Area of Soissons)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Suessions were an important people of the Belgians, confined on the Aisne in the territory of the province of Soissonnais. They had for neighbor the Remi, the Lingones, the Senones, the Parisii, the Bellovaci and the Ambiens.. According to Caesar, the two peoples Remes and Suessions, before the Gallic Wars, had the same laws and the same leaders. They had for customers the Meldes, the Silvanectes and the Viromanduens. Diviciacos, one of their kings, would have reigned as far as Brittany. Galba, his successor, commanded the coalition of rebel Belgians in 57 BC. -VS. with a contingent of fifty thousand men. The Suessions and their Bellovaci allies were defeated. Galba had to deliver his two sons as hostages to the Romans. They provided a contingent of five thousand men for the relief army in 52 BC. -VS. They were placed under the authority of the Remes after this date. In 51 BC. -VS. , the members of the Belgian coalition were to first attack the Suessions. Ruled by Corréos and Commios, the Belgic peoples were finally crushed by the Romans. Their main oppidum was Noviodunum (Soissons). Caesar (BG. II, 3, 4, 12, 13; VI, 35; VII, 75; VIII, 6). Kruta: 69.
