Commentary
La classe VII, l’ultime du monnayage parisii, regroupe la classe VIIa avec le petit triskèle (connue seulement depuis quelques décennies) et cette classe VIIb avec uniquement la rosace formée de quatre globules. La classe VIIa est caractéristique avec un coin de droit souvent cassé et la classe VIIb avec des flans présentant quasi systématiquement des éclatements de frappe.
Cet exemplaire semble n’être que le quatrième connu, selon les travaux de J. Sills (qui reprend ceux de J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu), après le BN 7787, le n° 251 de la vente Bourgey du 3 décembre 1909 et le n° 620 de la vente Bourgey du 17 juin 1959. Notre statère est frappé avec de nouveaux coins. Ces coins, D3 (caractéristique avec les deux globules au niveau du coin de l'œil) et R3, ne sont donc connus que pour cet exemplaire.
Class VII, the last of the Parisii coinage, includes class VIIa with the small triskelion (known only for a few decades) and this class VIIb with only the rosette formed of four globules. Class VIIa is characteristic with an obverse die often broken and class VIIb with blanks almost systematically presenting strike breaks. This example seems to be only the fourth known, according to the work of J. Sills (which takes up those of J.-B. Colbert de Beaulieu), after BN 7787, n° 251 of the Bourgey sale of December 3, 1909 and n° 620 of the Bourgey sale of June 17, 1959. Our stater is struck with new dies. These dies, D3 (characteristic with the two globules at the level of the corner of the eye) and R3, are therefore only known for this example

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.
