Commentary


Alors que les bronzes YLLICCI se trouvent avec aisance, ceux avec la légende GIAMILOS sont beaucoup plus rares. Sur cet exemplaire, le début de la légende GIAM se lit complètement et on devine ILO en bord de flan.
While YLLICCI bronzes are easily found, those with the legend GIAMILOS are much rarer. On this example, the beginning of the legend GIAM is completely readable and we can make out ILO on the edge of the flan

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).
