Commentary


Avec ce type de tête et un sanglier au revers, ce quart semble devoir être associé à la classe VI, au sanglier ; c’est la première fois que nous en proposons un exemplaire !
De petits coups de burins sont visibles au droit comme au revers ; il peut s’agir de vérifications de métal ou de marques de démonétisation (?).
With this type of head and a boar on the reverse, this quarter seems to be associated with Class VI, the boar; this is the first time we have offered a copy! Small chisel marks are visible on the obverse and reverse; these could be metal verifications or demonetization marks (?)

Historical background


CORIOSOLITÆ (Area of Corseul, Cotes d'Armor)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Coriosolites were an Armorican people, settled in the current department of Côtes-d'Armor. They had for neighbors the Osismes, the Vénètes, the Namnètes and the Redons. They were a seafaring people whose main port seems to have been Alet. Their name is still preserved today in that of Corseul. They played an important role in trade with insular Britain, took part in the campaign of 57 BC and were subjugated by Crassus. The following year, they again participated in the revolt of the Armoricans under the leadership of the Veneti with the Unelles and the Lexoviens, all crushed by Caesar. In 52 BC, the Coriosolites participated in the contingent of twenty thousand men that the Armoricans sent to free Vercingetorix, besieged in Alesia. Caesar (BG. II, 34; III, 7, 11; VII, 75). Pliny (HN IV, 107) Kruta: 108, 355, 366.
