Commentary
Cette casse II du monnayage ECCAIOS semble nettement moins bien représentée que que la classe I. Les exemplaires sont souvent frappés sur de plus petit flan, si bien qu’il est rare d’avoir les types complet et bien centrés.
Exemplaire avec la légende ECCAIOS complète au revers.
This case II of the ECCAIOS coinage seems to be much less well represented than the class I. The examples are often struck on smaller flans, so that it is rare to have the complete and well-centered types. Example with the complete ECCAIOS legend on the reverse

Historical background
PARISII (Area of Paris)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Parisii were a small but powerful people whose oppidum was Lutèce. Related to the Sénons, the Parisii and the city would have emancipated themselves from their tutelage, relatively late, after the Arverne defeat of 121 BC. The wealth of the Parisii rested on the river control of the Seine and the confluences with the Marne, Bièvre, Ourcq and Oise. César chooses Lutèce, in 53 before J. - C. to convene the assembly of the Gallic peoples. The Parisii were among the first to answer the call of Vercingetorix, the following year, in 52 BC, and they provided a contingent of eight thousand men for the relief army. Watched over by Labienus, friend and legate of Caesar, the territory of the Parisii was the scene of the last battles between Gauls and Romans. Eventually, the Aulercan chief Camulogenes was defeated and killed near Lutetia. Caesar (BG. VI, 3; VII, 4, 34, 57, 75). Kruta: 36, 40 46, 68, 365, 368.
