Commentary


Cette monnaie pourrait être décrite comme un bronze argenté, comme le font certains auteurs... il semblerait plutôt qu'il s'agisse d'une monnaie de billon, plus fortement chargée en bronze. Une comparaison des surfaces avec certaines monnaies armoricaines de billon est très édifiante ; le billon peut prendre la patine du bronze qu'il contient et avoir des oxydations vert de gris.
Au revers, on devine une petite esse initiale avant l’S de SOTIOTA.
This coin could be described as a silvered bronze, as some authors do... it would rather seem that it is a billon coin, more heavily loaded with bronze. A comparison of the surfaces with certain Armorican billon coins is very edifying; the billon can take on the patina of the bronze it contains and have verdigris oxidations. On the reverse, we can see a small initial esse before the S of SOTIOTA

Historical background


GALLIA - SOUTH WESTERN GAUL - SOTIATES (Area of Sos)

(1st century BC)

The Sotiates or Sontiates inhabited the southwest of the current department of Lot-et-Garonne, as well as part of the Gers and the Landes, and were placed between the Elusates and the Nitiobroges. Their oppidum was Sos. If the people of the Sotiates is not itself mentioned in the Commentaries, Adietuanus, their leader, is (BG. III, 22). The latter was submitted by Publius Licinius Crassus, lieutenant of Caesar, the son of Crassus who was to die in 53 BC at the battle of Carrhae, moreover with his son. Adietanus would have surrendered to Caesar's lieutenant only after the capitulation of Sos, the capital of his people. Rallying to the Romans, the sotiate chief received the title of "Rex". Sources: Caesar (BG. III, 20, 21 and 22).
