Condition: Very fine.

History: The territory of Lingons was very vast, straddling the current department of Haute-Marne and part of the Côte d'Or, Yonne and Aube. They were surrounded by the Sequanes, the Mandubians, the Leuques, the Rèmes, the Suessions, the Senons and the Aedui. It was one of the largest civitas in Gaul. Langres, which has retained their name, seems to have been one of their oppida. Allies of the Romans, they did not participate in the War. The Helvetii, during their retreat after the defeat of Bibracte, crossed the Lingon territory. And in 52 BC, they did not send emissaries, did not join in the revolt, and did not participate in the relief army sent to Vercingetorix. On the other hand, in 51 BC, they provided a contingent of cavalry to the Romans in order to fight the Bellovaci and the Belgians. They therefore remained faithful to the Roman alliance. They are cited several times in Caesar's Commentaries. Caesar (BG. I, 26, 40; IV, 10; VI, 44; VII, 9, 63, 66; VIII, 11). Kruta: 21,111, 184, 187, 201, 251.
