Potin au loup mangeur et à la rouelle 1st century BC Not Applicable Meldi, Suessiones AU(50-53)

Prijsbieding

Profile to the right, the chin is round and protruding, the hair represented by parallel curved locks. The eye is almond-shaped and centred on a pearl., Batracian-looking figure facing, his left arm being devoured by a ‘wolf’. Below the figure, a large wheel with a double circle, rayed between the circles and centred with a pellet., Potin of the highest rarity! Our specimen appears to be the second known to exist. The attribution is still disputed today between two tribes, the Meldi and the Suessiones, with the origins and area of distribution clearly to the east of the present-day Île-de-France, corresponding to their areas of influence. Interpreted as a scene from Germanic and Nordic mythology (J. Debord, 1991), the reverse depicts the mythological scene where the wolf Fenrir devours the arm of the god Týr, who sacrifices it to gain his trust and be able to chain the wolf to Gleipnir, the bond that keeps Fenrir restrained.
