Commentary
Ce statère a été frappé avec les coins D4 et R6, de la classification établie par J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu lors de son étude du monnayage des Parisii. Les pièces n° 24 à 29 et 31 à 38 du trésor de Puteaux ont été frappées avec les mêmes coins de droit et de revers. A noter que si le coin de revers R6 est associé à d’autres coins de droit, le coin de droit D4 n’est quant à lui associé qu’à ce revers !.
This stater was struck with the D4 and R6 dies, from the classification established by J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu during his study of the coinage of the Parisii. Coins nos. 24 to 29 and 31 to 38 from the Puteaux treasure were struck with the same obverse and reverse dies. Note that while the reverse die R6 is associated with other obverse dies, the obverse die D4 is associated only with this 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.
