Catalogue information
Only the SAM F legend is off the reverse side This denarius belongs to the great group of the East inspired by the denarius with the legend KALETEDOY. The attribution to the Sequanes is probable although the distribution map of the finds is very important and scattered. Over 3,000 copies were found in the last century at Lavilleneuve-au-Roi in Haute-Marne. The department with the most places of discovery is nonetheless the Côte-d'Or. Brigitte Fischer demonstrated in an article in Cahiers Numismatiques 75 (1983), p.232-233 that the legend Q (uintus) DOCI SAM F (ilius) cannot begin before 57-56 BC The type is present in the ditches of Alésia, but continued to circulate after the Gallic Wars.
