Commentary


Les légendes sont presque complètes sur cet exemplaire.

Quand on regarde la tête au droit, nous pourrions avoir affaire aussi bien au portrait d'Apollon, copié directement sur les bronzes de Marseille qu'à celui de Vénus, peut-être imité des bronzes d'Antibes. Aucun attribut ne permet d'affirmer que nous sommes en présence d'un portrait d'Artémis.

Historical background


GALLIA - VOLCÆ ARECOMICI (Area of Nîmes)

(1st century BC)

The Arecomic Volques, from the same group or people (volk) would have emigrated from the Danubian regions to come and settle in southern Gaul in the 3rd century BC. Installed on part of the current departments of Gard and Hérault, their capital was Nemausus (Nîmes). It is normally on their territory that Narbo Martius (Narbonne) was founded in 118 BC, which was to become the capital of the Provincia. Sources: Caesar (BG. VII, 7, 64); Strabo (G. IV, 1, 12).
