Commentary


Ce type de potin semble se diviser en plusieurs variétés, selon qu'il y ait ou pas un torque qui entoure l'arrière du crâne, et éventuellement selon la présence du globule entre les jambes du cheval. Cet exemplaire a bien le torque derrière la tête au droit et un gros globule entre les jambes du cheval au revers, comme sur le DT. 2652.
This type of potin seems to be divided into several varieties, depending on whether or not there is a torque surrounding the back of the skull, and possibly depending on the presence of the globule between the horse's legs. This example has the torque behind the head on the right and a large globule between the legs of the horse on the reverse, as on the DT. 2652

Historical background


SENONES (Area of Sens)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Sénons, whose name means the sages or the elders, controlled a vast territory which extended between the south of Champagne and the north of Burgundy. Their main oppidum was Agedincum (Sens) which still retains the name of the ancient civitas today. They had several other oppida like Auxerre, Tonnerre or Avallon. Divona seems to have been the principal sanctuary of the Senones. Caesar had wintered six of his legions in 53 BC at Agedincum. Labienus, Caesar's lieutenant and legate, came to settle in the region of Sens between Gergovie and Alesia in order to control the roads and protect Caesar's armies from an attack from the Belgians or the Germans. Caesar (BG. II, 2; V, 54, 56; VI, 2, 3, 44; VII, 4, 10, 11, 34, 56-59, 62, 75). Ptolemy (G. II, 8, 9).
