Commentary


Le droit est caractéristique de la classe III, avec l'œil rond de face et le nez en forme d'epsilon bouleté au centre. Le revers, traditionnellement associé aux droits des classes I et III, se caractérise par un aurige résumé à une tête regardant en l'air surmontant un bras tendu.
The right is characteristic of class III, with the round eye from the front and the nose in the shape of a balled epsilon in the center. The reverse, traditionally associated with class I and III rights, is characterized by a charioteer summarized as a head looking into the air surmounting an outstretched arm.

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.
