Commentary


Bien que classé dans le Tome II du Nouvel Atlas dans l’ensemble séno-carnute et vallée de la Loire moyenne (DT. 2515), ce type ne nous semble provenir plutôt da région de l’Aube !
Le poids de ces quarts de statères variant entre 1,92 et 2,10 grammes. Sans avoir le style des exemplaires de la classe I identifiée par J. Sills dans les mélanges offerts à S. Scheers, cet exemplaire en conserve la légende à l’exergue !.

Historical background


MEDIOMATRICI, Unspecified

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Médiomatriques were a very powerful people of Belgian Gaul. They were strongly Romanized and owed their wealth to the salt trade. They were installed on the Moselle and controlled part of the Vosges and Alsace. They had for neighbors the Treveri, the Remi, the Lingones, the Leuci and the Sequani. They provided a contingent of five thousand men for the relief army intended to free Alesia. Their main oppidum was Divodurum (Metz). Caesar (BG. IV, 10; VII, 75).
