Commentary


Ce statère s’intègre dans le monnayage tardif de la Basse Normandie, du Cotentin et de Jersey, sans pour autant correspondre exactement à aucune des monnaies publiées !
Le type à la lyre est traditionnellement plutôt attribué aux Abrincatui, mais le style ne leur correspond pas. Comme pour le statère aux deux lyres, n° 662 de MONNAIES 53, ne serait-il pas possible que ce statère soit un "mélange" de Baïocasses et d'Abrincatui, deux peuples mitoyens ?.
This stater is part of the late coinage of Lower Normandy, Cotentin and Jersey, without corresponding exactly to any of the published coins! The type with the lyre is traditionally attributed to the Abricatui, but the style does not correspond to them. As for the stater with two lyres, no. 662 of MONNAIES 53, would it not be possible that this stater is a “mixture” of Bayocasses and Abrincatui, two adjoining peoples?

Historical background


GALLIA - BAÏOCASSES (Area of Bayeux)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Baïocasses or Bodiocasses are not mentioned in Caesar's Gallic Wars. It is Pliny the Elder who speaks of it first. The Baiocasses occupied part of present-day Normandy, the Bessin. Their neighbors were the Unelles, the Viducasses and the Véliocasses. Their main oppidum was Augustodurum (Bayeux). Pliny (HN. IV, 107). Ptolemy (G. II, 8).
