Historical background


ABRINCATUI (Cotentin PENINSULA)

(1st century BC)

The Abrincatui were a small people settled in the south-west of the current Cotentin (Avranches). They had as neighbors Unelles, from where a confusion in the attribution of the coins of these two people. The Jersey treasure contributes greatly to the knowledge of this coinage. Discovered in the 19th century, the treasures discovered on the island of Jersey testify to the important role played by this island in the trade between Gaul and Brittany..
