Commentary


Flan très large et poids lourd comme l'exemplaire du Cabinet des Médailles de la BN (4,10 g). Le seul exemplaire en bronze, signalé jusqu'à présent, était réputé provenir de la collection J. Grelu. L'exemplaire représenté dans le LA TOUR (LT. 8329) pourrait bien être un bronze car il est décrit seul dans le Muret Chabouillet, avant la série traditionnelle de potin (BN 8330-8350) ; il serait indiqué par erreur "Pot." sur la planche, et correspondrait aux monnaies habituelles de ce type qui sont en potin. La BN, le musée de Rouen, le British Museum ou encore le musée Danicourt à Péronne conservent tous un exemplaire en bronze de ce type (tantôt indiqué comme bronze, tantôt comme potin).
Very large and heavy flan like the example in the Cabinet des Médailles of the BN (4.10 g). The only bronze example reported so far was reputed to come from the J. Grelu collection. The example represented in the LA TOUR (LT. 8329) could well be a bronze because it is described alone in the Muret Chabouillet, before the traditional potin series (BN 8330-8350); it would be mistakenly indicated \\\"Pot.\\\" on the plate, and would correspond to the usual coins of this type which are in potin. The BN, the Rouen Museum, the British Museum and the Danicourt Museum in Péronne all hold a bronze example of this type (sometimes indicated as bronze, sometimes as potin)

Historical background


GALLIA BELGICA - LINGONES (Area of Langres)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The territory of the Lingons was very vast, straddling the current department of Haute-Marne and part of the Côte d'Or, Yonne and Aube. Their capital was located in Langres. They were surrounded by the Sequani, the Mandubians, the Leuci, the Remes, the Suessions, the Senones and the Aedui. It was one of the largest civitas in Gaul. Langres, which has kept their name, seems to have been one of their oppida. Allies of the Romans, they did not take part in the War. The Helvetians, during their retreat after the defeat of Bibracte, crossed the Lingon territory. And in 52 BC, they did not send emissaries, did not join the revolt and did not participate in the relief army sent to Vercingetorix. On the other hand, in 51 before J. - C., they provided a contingent of cavalry to the Romans in order to fight the Bellovaques and the Belgians. They therefore remained faithful to the Roman alliance. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. Caesar (BG. I, 26, 40; IV, 10; VI, 44; VII, 9, 63, 66; VIII, 11). Kruta: 21,111, 184, 187, 201, 251.
