| Summary: | The numerous monetary finds during the archaeological excavations carried out since 2014 on the site of Dessobriga, and the presentation of several coins from five new private collections, make it necessary to update the monetary corpus of this antique mansio. The study of the chrono-stratigraphic horizons of circulation of coins discovered in archeological context, as well as the evaluation of the whole corpus, according to the more traditional approach of a statistical study of the productive horizons based on the mints and the chronology of the emissions, allow us to formulate new hypotheses regarding the identity of Dessobriga, its regional context and the chronology of its occupation. It is thus possible to fix the Roman foundation of this urban agglomeration during the first half of the Principate of Augustus, and the frequency of certain phenomena –countermarks and partitions– underlines the close relations that it maintained, at least originally, with the military camps of the North-West of the Peninsula to which it is connected by a road of first importance. The final abandonment of the site, which seems to occur during the second century, could finally be linked to a mutation of the road network. |
