Commentary


Avec ce style précis, ce statère correspond à la variante 5 du classement de P. Abollivier, dit de Perros-Guirec. Cet exemplaire est d’un poids relativement lourd.
Il est intéressant de noter que cette variante, reprise sous le DT. 2210, regroupe des monnaies de styles variés. A croire qu’il existe autant de coins de droit que de styles !.
With this precise style, this stater corresponds to variant 5 of the classification of P. Abollivier, known as Perros-Guirec. This specimen is relatively heavy. It is interesting to note that this variant, included under DT. 2210, includes coins of various styles. It is as if there are as many obverse dies as there are styles!

Historical background


GALLIA - ARMORICA - OSISMII (Area of Carhaix - Finistère)

(2nd - 1st centuries BC)

The Osismes were an Armorican people, settled in the current department of Finistère, at the northwestern end of Gaul and the Armorican coasts. They had as chief town Vorgium, today Carhaix. Their neighbors were the Veneti and the Coriosolites. Their name would mean "the furthest away" or "the people at the end of the world". They were subjugated by Caesar's army in 57 along with the other Armorican peoples. But from 56, they joined the coalition led by the Venetians. They will participate in the contingent of twenty-five thousand men provided in 52 BC to the army of the Gallic coalition by the Armorican peoples. Caesar (BG. II, 34, III, 9, VII, 75, 1). Pliny (HN IV, 107). Ptolemy (II, 8). Kruta, page 766.
