Commentary


Bien qu’anépigraphe, ce bronze s’insère parfaitement dans la série des bronzes CISIAMBOS, avec exactement le même type de revers. La série 466 “bronzes anépigraphes des Lexovii dérivés du bronze de Cisiambos” regroupe deux variétés de revers ; la première correspond à notre bronze et la seconde a un lion sans l'épi, comparable au DT. 2492.

Historical background


LEXOVII (Area of Lisieux)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Lexovians, a small Celtic people, had Noviomagus (Lisieux) as their main oppidum. Their territory was bounded by the hills of the Perche and the sea. According to Strabo, the Lexovians would have been excellent traders, exchanging tin from Brittany and lead from Cornwall for wine and oil from Italy. They are cited several times by Caesar in his Commentaries. The Lexovian contingent for the relief army sent to Alesia was included in the twenty thousand men counted for all the peoples along the ocean and "who call themselves Armoricans". However, the Lexovians do not belong to the Armorican group. Caesar (BG. III, 9, 11, 17, 29). Kruta: 351, 366.
