Commentary


Semble de mêmes coins que l’exemplaire du musée de Lyon (pl. 30, n° 846). Ce bronze est copié sur le denier de la gens Calpurnia, Lucius ou Caius Calpurnius Frugi qui furent respectivement monétaires en 90 avant J.-C. (RCV. 235 = RRC. 340) et en 67 avant J.-C. (RCV. 348 = RRC. 408).
Seems to have the same dies as the copy in the Lyon Museum (pl. 30, no. 846). This bronze is copied from the denarius of the gens Calpurnia, Lucius or Caius Calpurnius Frugi which were respectively minted in 90 BC (RCV. 235 = RRC. 340) and in 67 BC (RCV. 348 = RRC. 408)

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.
