Commentary
Ce potin se rapproche du fameux bga_321416 de la collection d’André Breton pour ce qui est de la tête, mais le revers est plus simple. Selon le classement de H. Patat, ce type appartiendrait aux Parisii ou à la région Parisienne, comme le bga_348150 avec le taureau et la légende MA dégénérée.
Aucune autre monnaie publiée ne semble présenter exactement cette même composition au niveau de la tête et de la chevelure, si ce n’est le bga_321416 toujours inédit.
This coin is similar to the famous bga_321416 from André Breton's collection in terms of the head, but the reverse is simpler. According to H. Patat's classification, this type would belong to the Parisii or the Paris region, like bga_348150 with the bull and the legend MA dégénérée. No other published coin seems to present exactly this same composition in terms of the head and hair, except for the still unpublished bga_321416

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.
