Commentary
La classe VIIa n’est connue que depuis quelques décennies. La classe VIIb (sans le petit triskèle) n’est toujours représentée dans le Sills que par les trois exemplaires connus en 1970. Pour la classe VIIa, J. Sills recense huit exemplaires (dont deux sur Polaroïd à la BN). Seulement quatre exemplaires seraient passés sur le marché, chez Künker en 2001, Triton en 1997, Burgan en 1997 et Argenor en 1999 ; comme tous les exemplaires précités, notre statère est frappé avec les coins D28 et R32..

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.
