Commentary


Cet exemplaire se distingue du précédent par l’annelet sous l’animal au revers et par les sept globules qui longent le bourrelet du droit entre le devant du menton et la nuque. Le dernier globule sur la nuque semble être l’extrémité du casque qui se prolonge jusqu’au-dessus du nez.
This specimen is distinguished from the previous one by the ringlet under the animal on the reverse and by the seven globules which run along the right ridge between the front of the chin and the nape of the neck. The last globule on the nape of the neck seems to be the end of the helmet which extends to above the nose.

Historical background


GALLIA TURONES, Unspecified

(1st century BC)

The people of the Turons, settled on the Loire, left their name to Tours and Touraine. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. They seem to have grown in importance after the disappearance of the Arverne empire in 121 BC. Like the Pictons, the Turons provided eight thousand men for the relief army which was to release Alesia. Their main oppidum seems to have been placed near the site of Amboise. Caesar (BG. II, 35; VII, 4, 75; VIII, 46).
