Commentary
Le droit de ce denier a servi de modèle au bronze SVTICOS des Véliocasses (LT. 7356), au bronze ECCAIOS des Parisii (LT. 7472-7471), peut-être au bronze IBVROVIXS des Aulerques Éburovices (LT. 7044), au bronze ROVECA des Meldes (LT. 7635-7636). Il est tout à fait normal que le monnayage du vainqueur ait été imité ou copié. Il nous faut néanmoins revoir la chronologie relative des émissions. De nombreuses pièces épigraphes ne peuvent être que postérieures à la guerre des Gaules.

Many epigraphic coins can only be later than the Gallic War

Historical background
JULIUS CAESAR
(07/13/100-03/15/44 BC)
Julius Caesar, born in 100 BC, belongs to the party of Marius and opposes Sylla at a very young age. He was praetor in 62 BC, before forming with Pompey and Crassus the first triumvirate in 59 BC, the year of his consulship. He then receives a proconsular imperium on Gaul, renewed in 54. He fights Vercingétorix in Gergovie then in Alesia. Besieged, the Gallic leader must surrender. Crassus having been killed at Carrhae, in Mesopotamia, in 53 BC, Caesar got angry with Pompey and marched on Rome in 49 BC. In 48 BC, at Pharsalus, he crushed Pompey who fled to Egypt where he was assassinated. Caesar must then face the sons of Pompey and the Pompeian party. He defeated them at Thapsus (Africa, death of Cato of Utica) in 46 BC and at Munda (Spain, death of Cneius Pompey). Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March (March 15, 44 BC) by Cassius and Brutus. He was deified after his death in 42 BC..
