Commentary
Le poids de ces quarts de statères variant entre 1,92 et 2,10 grammes, cet exemplaire est un peu léger.
Contrairement à ceux de la classe I, le revers est anépigraphe. Exemplaire parmi les plus légers de cette série.
Ce monnayage a fait l'étude d’une sérieuse étude par J. Sills dans les mélanges offerts à S. Scheers. L’exemplaire n° 25 est issu du coin de droit D15 et du coin de revers R17 ; il provient du nord-est d’Arcy-sur Aube.

This example is among the lightest in this series. This coinage was the subject of a serious study by J. Sills in the mixtures offered to S. Scheers. Example No. 25 comes from the obverse die D15 and the reverse die R17; it comes from the northeast of Arcy-sur-Aube

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).
