Commentary
Bien que connu depuis le XIXe siècle, avec les deux variantes dessinées dans le LA TOUR, cette série semble être toujours mal connue. Deux exemplaires de ce type sont repris dans le Nouvel Atlas, DT. 2501 et 2502, mais le type LT. 7137 a semble-t-il été ignoré. Il semble pourtant que ces deux monnaies doivent être rassemblées dans une même série. G. Depeyrot fait également l'amalgame en listant onze exemplaires variés sous la même référence.

Historical background
PARISII, Unspecified (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.
