Commentary


Ce potin est très rare ; le droit s’inspire du potin leuque à la tête d’indien, mais le revers est d’un type très différent et ne se rapproche d’aucun autres types !
Selon le Nouvel Atlas, plusieurs exemplaire auraient été trouvés dans les environs de Langres (chez les Lingons). H. Patat (8.3) classe quand à lui ce potin aux Parisii.
Le bga_286094 est le seul autre exemplaire que nous ayons eu pour ce type de potin !.
This potin is very rare; the obverse is inspired by the Leuque potin with an Indian head, but the reverse is of a very different type and is not similar to any other type! According to the New Atlas, several examples were found in the area around Langres (among the Lingons). H. Patat (8.3) classifies this potin with the Parisii. The bga_286094 is the only other example we have of this type of potin!

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).
