Commentary


Au droit la tête casquée fait penser à un buste de Mars du denier de P. Fonteius Capito frappé en 55 avant J.-C. (RRC. 429/1 = RCV. 392). S. Scheers n’avait pas retenu cette hypothèse dans son ouvrage en 1969 sur les monnaies de la Gaule inspirées de celle de la République romaine.
On the right, the helmeted head is reminiscent of a bust of Mars from the denarius of P. Fonteius Capito struck in 55 BC (RRC. 429/1 = RCV. 392). S. Scheers did not accept this hypothesis in his work in 1969 on the coins of Gaul inspired by that of the Roman Republic

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.
