Commentary


Le dauphin sous le cheval n’est pas sans faire penser à un carnyx comme le propose B. Fischer. La légende doit être au-dessus du cheval mais est peu visible sur cet exemplaire ; cette position range notre exemplaire à la variété 1. En revanche, il semble que le droit appartienne à la rare variété avec les annelets devant le visage comme l’exemplaire reproduit dans la RN. 1906, fig. 22 page 126, avec le même type de portrait.
The dolphin under the horse is reminiscent of a carnyx as suggested by B. Fischer. The legend should be above the horse but is barely visible on this copy; this position places our copy in variety 1. On the other hand, it seems that the right belongs to the rare variety with the rings in front of the face like the copy reproduced in the RN. 1906, fig. 22 page 126, with the same type of portrait

Historical background


GALLIA BELGICA - SUESSIONES (Area of Soissons)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The Suessions were an important people of the Belgians, confined on the Aisne in the territory of the province of Soissonnais. They had for neighbor the Remi, the Lingones, the Senones, the Parisii, the Bellovaci and the Ambiens.. According to Caesar, the two peoples Remes and Suessions, before the Gallic Wars, had the same laws and the same leaders. They had for customers the Meldes, the Silvanectes and the Viromanduens. Diviciacos, one of their kings, would have reigned as far as Brittany. Galba, his successor, commanded the coalition of rebel Belgians in 57 BC. -VS. with a contingent of fifty thousand men. The Suessions and their Bellovaci allies were defeated. Galba had to deliver his two sons as hostages to the Romans. They provided a contingent of five thousand men for the relief army in 52 BC. -VS. They were placed under the authority of the Remes after this date. In 51 BC. -VS. , the members of the Belgian coalition were to first attack the Suessions. Ruled by Corréos and Commios, the Belgic peoples were finally crushed by the Romans. Their main oppidum was Noviodunum (Soissons). Caesar (BG. II, 3, 4, 12, 13; VI, 35; VII, 75; VIII, 6). Kruta: 69.
