Prieure de Sion Posted November 9, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 9, 2022 3 hours ago, Edessa said: Next: More Celtic. Q(uintus) DOCI SAM F(ilius), Gallic War Julius Caesar, Quinarius of the Roman Republic Period before 57/56 BC, Material: Silver, Diameter: 17mm, Weight: 1.85g, Mint: Gaul, around Vesontio / Besancon, Reference: LT 5405, DT 3245, Obverse: Celticized head of Roma to left. The Inscription reads: Q DOCI, Reverse: Horse springing left. The Inscription reads: Q DOCI SAM F. Comments: The Sequans were one of the most important peoples in eastern Gaul. They were the enemies of the Eduens, their neighbours. Their territory was very large and stretched between the Saône, the Rhône, the Jura and the Vosges. The Jura lakes separated them from the Helvets. They had been very powerful in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, but had lost their splendour after the Germanic tribes occupied part of their territory around 70 BC. They had the Leuques, the Lingons, the Eduens and the Helvetii as neighbours. Their main toppidum was Vesontio (Besançon). Cited several times by Caesar in the campaign of 52 BC, they supplied a contingent of 12,000 men for the rescue army. This quinar belongs to the large group of the East, inspired by the denarius with the legend KALETEDOY. The assignment to the Sequans is probable, although the distribution map of the finds is very large and scattered. Brigitte Fischer has shown in an article in Numismatische Hefte 75 (1983), pp.232-233 that the legend Q(uintus) DOCI SAM F(ilius) cannot begin before 57-56 BC. The type is present in the trenches of Alesia, but continued to circulate after the Gallic War. Was this quinar perhaps also in a money pouch of a legionary or Gallic warrior at the Battle of Alesia? What might he have seen or experienced? Next: give me please a horse or more horses. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: Listed in Coryssa database [last confirmed 16 Feb 2020]: https://www.coryssa.org/2538646/ . From Lorber's CPE: "Cyrene produced silver tetradrachms and didrachms with the portrait of Ptolemy I and his standard eagle on thunderbolt reverse, as well as portrait bronzes issued in Ptolemy’s name, with the monogram of Magas in the field. This group of bronzes employ five different reverse types, representing four different series (the Pegasus and horse reverses apparently mark different denominations within a single series). The sequence of these series is not certainly known, but the overstriking of Ptolemy/thunderbolt bronzes with the types of the Cyrenaican koinon may indicate that the thunderbolt was the latest reverse type of this group."
