Commentary


La présence de ce potin dans la collection André BRETON montre qu'une monnaie gauloise -aussi courante soit-elle- a sa place et peut côtoyer le plus rare statère armoricain... Les offres reçues pour les quelques monnaies de cette prestigieuse collection vendues dans MONNAIES XIX et XX montrent l'intérêt d'un pedigree pour une monnaie (cf. liste des prix réalisés de MONNAIES XIX et XX). Le choix de cette monnaie vient peut-être de la simplification et de la stylisation extrême de la tête, résumée à un nez, une bouche, un globule pour l'œil et une mèche pour la chevelure.
The presence of this potin in the André BRETON collection shows that a Gallic coin - however common it may be - has its place and can rub shoulders with the rarest Armorican stater... The offers received for the few coins from this prestigious collection sold in COINS XIX and XX show the interest of a pedigree for a coin (see list of prices realized for COINS XIX and XX). The choice of this coin perhaps comes from the simplification and extreme stylization of the head, reduced to a nose, a mouth, a globule for the eye and a lock for the hair

Historical background


GALLIA BELGICA - SEQUANI (Area of Besançon)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Séquanes were one of the most important peoples of eastern Gaul. They were the enemies of the Aedui, their neighbors. Their territory was very vast and extended between the Saône, the Rhône, the Jura and the Vosges. The Jura lakes separated them from the Helvetians. They had been very powerful in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, but had lost their luster after the Germans had occupied part of their territory around 70 BC. Their neighbors were the Leuques, the Lingones, Aedui and Helvetians. Their principal oppidum was Vesontio (Besançon). Mentioned several times by Caesar, during the campaign of 52 BC, they provided a contingent of 12,000 men for the relief army. Caesar (BG. I, 1-3, 6, 8-10, 12, 19, 31-33, 35, 38, 40, 44, 48, 54; IV, 10; VI, 12; VII, 66, 67, 75, 90). Kruta: 16, 71, 111, 364.
