Commentary


Certains affirment qu'il s'agit bien de monnaies coulées, argumentant, entre autres, avec la finesse des potins du type MONNAIES XV, n° 1274-1276. Techniquement, nous persistons à penser qu'il s'agit de monnaies frappées. Les potins sont caractéristiques avec leur bourrelet périphérique. Sur ces exemplaires en bronze, ce sont les traces du bord des coins qui sont visibles (tant au droit qu'au revers). D'un mauvais ajustage des moules, pour couler un potin, résulte des barbes de métal et deux côtés complets, mais partiellement sur une demi-épaisseur. En ce qui concerne les monnaies frappées, le flan reste le même, régulier, ce sont les empreintes des coins qui sont décalées si la frappe n'est pas ajustée au flan.
Some claim that these are cast coins, arguing, among other things, with the fineness of the potins of the type COINS XV, n° 1274-1276. Technically, we persist in thinking that these are struck coins. The potins are characteristic with their peripheral bead. On these bronze examples, it is the traces of the edge of the dies that are visible (both on the obverse and the reverse). A poor adjustment of the molds, to cast a potin, results in metal beards and two complete sides, but partially on a half-thickness. As for the struck coins, the flan remains the same, regular, it is the impressions of the dies that are offset if the strike is not adjusted to the flan

Historical background


GALLIA BELGICA - LINGONES (Area of Langres)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The territory of the Lingons was very vast, straddling the current department of Haute-Marne and part of the Côte d'Or, Yonne and Aube. Their capital was located in Langres. They were surrounded by the Sequani, the Mandubians, the Leuci, the Remes, the Suessions, the Senones and the Aedui. It was one of the largest civitas in Gaul. Langres, which has kept their name, seems to have been one of their oppida. Allies of the Romans, they did not take part in the War. The Helvetians, during their retreat after the defeat of Bibracte, crossed the Lingon territory. And in 52 BC, they did not send emissaries, did not join the revolt and did not participate in the relief army sent to Vercingetorix. On the other hand, in 51 before J. - C., they provided a contingent of cavalry to the Romans in order to fight the Bellovaques and the Belgians. They therefore remained faithful to the Roman alliance. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. Caesar (BG. I, 26, 40; IV, 10; VI, 44; VII, 9, 63, 66; VIII, 11). Kruta: 21,111, 184, 187, 201, 251.
