Commentary


Des recherches inédites sont en cours sur cette série de potins dite “au sanglier et au torque”. Si de nombreuses hypothèses quant à sa signification symbolique, l’aspect technique est tout aussi intéressant et les conclusions seront certainement très édifiantes et modifieront sans doute une part de nos connaissances sur ces monnaies coulées et plus précisément sur ces potins....
Unpublished research is underway on this so-called “wild boar and torque” gossip series. If there are many hypotheses as to its symbolic meaning, the technical aspect is just as interesting and the conclusions will certainly be very edifying and will undoubtedly modify part of our knowledge on these cast coins and more precisely on this gossip...

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.
