Commentary


Cette nouvelle classe n'avait pas non plus été distinguée par F. Barthélémy ; P. Schiesser n'en illustre que deux exemplaires. Elle se caractérise par les quatre globules derrière la tête. L'exemplaire S266 du BMCC semble avoir le premier globule bien visible.

Historical background


TURONES (Area of Touraine)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

The people of the Turons, settled on the Loire, left their name to Tours and Touraine. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. They seem to have grown in importance after the disappearance of the Arverne empire in 121 BC. Like the Pictons, the Turons provided eight thousand men for the relief army which was to release Alesia. Their main oppidum seems to have been placed near the site of Amboise. Caesar (BG. II, 35; VII, 4, 75; VIII, 46).
