Commentary


Ce type est rare ; un exemplaire était conservé à la BN et un second au Musée de Lyon. Le droit n'est pas sans rappeler le bronze MONNAIES XV, n° 1186 (LT. 8570-8572). Proposé aux Suessions dans MONNAIES XV, ce bronze est à restituer aux Aulerques Eburovices et il figure justement dans le Tome II du Nouvel Atlas.
This type is rare; one example was kept at the National Library and a second at the Museum of Lyon. The obverse is reminiscent of the bronze COINS XV, no. 1186 (LT. 8570-8572). Offered to the Suessiones in COINS XV, this bronze is to be returned to the Aulerci Eburovices and it appears in Volume II of the New Atlas

Historical background


GALLIA - AULERCI EBUROVICES (Area of Évreux)

(3rd - 1st century BC)

The Aulerci were subdivided into three tribes: Aulerci Diablintes, Aulerci Cenomani and Aulerci Éburovices. The territory of Aulerques Éburovices corresponds to the current department of Eure. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. According to the latter, they would have massacred their Senate favorable to the Romans in 56 BC and would have joined the Unelles and the revolted Lexoviens. In 52 BC, they provided a contingent of three thousand men to the relief army. : Caesar (BG.(II, 34; III, 17, 29; VII, 4, 75; VIII, 7). Kruta: 72.
