1/4 Stater Class V

The Parisii occupied the Île de la Cité in the Seine — the same island that would later anchor Roman Lutetia. Their quarter staters circulated during the decades bracketing Caesar's Gallic campaigns, and the progressive abstraction of the coinage across classes is thought to reflect mounting disruption to trade networks and craftsman continuity as Roman military pressure intensified after 58 BC. Class V sits near the end of that sequence. The DT#84 / LT#7796 classification places it firmly within a typological framework established by Delestrée and Tache, whose die studies remain the primary reference for Belgic and Sequanian series.
