Commentary


L’attribution à l’Est de la France, autour du Jura est probable au vu de récentes découvertes. Il semble qu’il y ait eu des confusions entre les monnaies de ce type, et les imitations de Marseille épigraphes MSAO, émises dans la vallée du Rhône ou plus précisément par les Allobroges (cf. DT. 3173).
En recherchant des références pour cette obole, on se rend compte qu’il s’agit d’un monnayage très rare et curieusement absent de la plupart des publications et des collections publiées.
Ce type semble indirectement copié sur les oboles de Marseille. Il présente aussi certaines similitudes avec les oboles à la croix des Volques Tectosages..
The attribution to eastern France, around the Jura, is likely based on recent discoveries. It seems that there has been confusion between coins of this type and the imitations of Marseille epigraphs MSAO, issued in the Rhône Valley or more precisely by the Allobroges (cf. DT. 3173). By searching for references for this obol, we realize that it is a very rare coinage and curiously absent from most published publications and collections. This type seems to be indirectly copied from the Marseille obols. It also presents certain similarities with the cross obols of the Volques Tectosages.

Historical background


GALLIA BELGICA - SEQUANI (Area of Besançon)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Séquanes were one of the most important peoples of eastern Gaul. They were the enemies of the Aedui, their neighbors. Their territory was very vast and extended between the Saône, the Rhône, the Jura and the Vosges. The Jura lakes separated them from the Helvetians. They had been very powerful in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, but had lost their luster after the Germans had occupied part of their territory around 70 BC. Their neighbors were the Leuques, the Lingones, Aedui and Helvetians. Their principal oppidum was Vesontio (Besançon). Mentioned several times by Caesar, during the campaign of 52 BC, they provided a contingent of 12,000 men for the relief army. Caesar (BG. I, 1-3, 6, 8-10, 12, 19, 31-33, 35, 38, 40, 44, 48, 54; IV, 10; VI, 12; VII, 66, 67, 75, 90). Kruta: 16, 71, 111, 364.
