Commentary


Ce type de potin est traditionnellement attribué aux Helvètes ; c’est l’un des deux types de potin helvètes.
Ces potins sont encore mal connus, mais certains exemplaires ont un trait horizontal joignant les deux jambes du cheval, d’autres ont des globules au-dessus de la queue.
Les auteurs du Nouvel Atlas précisent que “les provenances de ce type se situent essentiellement en Suisse de l'Ouest et du Nord-Ouest”.
This type of potin is traditionally attributed to the Helvetii; it is one of the two types of Swiss potin. These potins are still poorly known, but some examples have a horizontal line joining the two legs of the horse, others have globules above the tail. The authors of the Nouvel Atlas specify that “provenances of this type are mainly located in Western and North-Western Switzerland”

Historical background


SEQUANI - HELVETII, Unspecified (Currently Switzerland)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

These two peoples were neighbors and a certain number of coins, particularly staters and quarter staters of electrum from the first century BC, are simultaneously attributed to them. The coin found in Avenches (east of Lake Neuchâtel), of a so-called sequana coinage, illustrates this phenomenon. Gossip of the La Tène type also belongs to this group!.
