Commentary
Semble être le quatrième exemplaire connu pour cette classe VII du monnayage parisii, et le plus bel exemplaire en ce qui concerne la conservation et le centrage. Exemplaire frappé sur un flan large pour cette classe et de poids lourd, de mêmes coins D2 - R2 que la monnaie vendue en 1909, n° 3 de l'inventaire de J.-B. de Beaulieu. Sur les quatre monnaies connues, deux sont de D1/R1 et deux de D2/R2.
Appears to be the fourth known example for this class VII of the Parisii coinage, and the finest example in terms of preservation and centering. Exemplary struck on a broad flan for this class and of heavy weight, with the same D2 - R2 dies as the coin sold in 1909, No. 3 of the inventory of J.-B. de Beaulieu. Of the four known coins, two are D1/R1 and two are D2/R2

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.
