Une approche contextuelle des potins nerviens « au rameau » du type A : l’apport du site du « Mont-à-Henry » à Ittre (Brabant wallon, B)

International audience ; The excavations at “Mont-à-Henry”, Ittre, in the Belgian province of West Brabant, yielded four Gaulish coins in an archaeological context with a large amount of pottery hitherto dated to the Augustan period; a reinterpretation of the chronology is therefore necessary. Three other coins are ‘au rameau A’ potins, produced by the Belgian tribe of the Nervii (Sch. 190, cl. IV). Until recently they were regarded as a typical late production of the region between the rivers Sambre and the Meuse controlled by the Atuatuci before the Gallic War. ﬈ey were considered as largely...

International audience ; The excavations at “Mont-à-Henry”, Ittre, in the Belgian province of West Brabant, yielded four Gaulish coins in an archaeological context with a large amount of pottery hitherto dated to the Augustan period; a reinterpretation of the chronology is therefore necessary. Three other coins are ‘au rameau A’ potins, produced by the Belgian tribe of the Nervii (Sch. 190, cl. IV). Until recently they were regarded as a typical late production of the region between the rivers Sambre and the Meuse controlled by the Atuatuci before the Gallic War. ﬈ey were considered as largely postdating the Conquest, with a circulation period as late as the Julio-Claudian or even Flavian dynasty. Until recently pottery associated with this coin type was invariably dated ather 30 BC, but a critical examination of the chronological data from a large number of contexts indicates a very different position. The ‘au rameau A’ potins actually appear at the end of LT D1b, c. 90 BC and disappear rapidly from circulation by c. 55/50 bc at the latest. Later finds attributed to the reign of Augustus show that they had lost their monetary status by then. The ‘potin au rameau’ Sch 190, cl. IV can now be considered as a reliable chronological indicator for the LT D1b/D2a period between 80/70 and 50 bc; occupation at “Mont-à-Henry” should be seen as belonging to the same period even if typological comparisons for pottery seem to indicate a more recent date. ; Les fouilles d’Ittre « Mont-à-Henry », en Brabant wallon, ont livré quatre monnaies gauloises dans un contexte riche en céramique précédemment datée de « l’époque augustéenne » . Une réinterprétation des données s’avérait nécessaire. Trois exemplaires sont des potins des Nerviens « au rameau A » (Sch. 190, cl. IV). Ils ont été jusqu’à présent considérés comme une production tardive, typique de l’Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse (Atuatuci), largement postérieure à la Conquête, avec une période de circulation débordant même sur l’époque julio-claudienne voire flavienne. Jusqu’à une ...
