Commentary

Les monnaies de la classe IV sont très rares ; J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu ne connaissait que huit quarts de cette série lors de sa publication. A l’époque, aucune liaison de coin n’avait été observée parmi ces quarts de statères. Pour J. Sills, ce quart appartient à la classe 3b. Il semble que cet exemplaire ne soit pas recensé dans le catalogue de J. Sills qui liste 18 exemplaires de cette classe, en collection privées ou passés en vente entre 1912 et 1999..

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.
