Le phénomène des dépôts de miniatures d’armes dans les sanctuaires celtes : réflexions à partir de l’exemple des Rèmes
International audience; By the end of the Celtic period, between the 2nd and the last quarter of the 1st century B.C., new types of votive offerings were placed in sanctuaries.These include enigmatic miniature weapons, difficult to identify and characterize. Yet they seem to have an important symbolic value asofferings by purpose. This paper will try to characterize this phenomenon by studying three Celtic ritual contexts from de French Ardennes : Acy-Romance, Baâlons-Bouvellemont and Mouzon.
La statue de guerrier du sanctuaire de Saint-Maur (Oise) et la question des boucliers miniatures : invitation à une relecture critique
International audience; The “Warrior of Saint-Maur” is a statuette that was discovered by accident in 1983 in the Celtic and Roman sanctuary of Saint-Maur-en-Chaussée,Oise, France. It is one of the rare metal human representations of the Celtic period. Its restoration by the C2RMF gave rise to a new study of its manufacturing, function and dating. During this analysis, a similarity has been noticed between the shield carried by this warrior and some miniature votive shields. The metric and formal comparison with the miniature shields found in North-West Europe invites to a new critical reading on the identification and function of such objects.
Le mobilier métallique du sanctuaire protohistorique de Meaux La Bauve et L’Arpent Videron : un faciès atypique ?
International audience; In the area of gallo-roman sanctuary of La Bauve in Meaux, almost 200 weapons fragment from the early La Tène period have been found.Swords, spears and shield elements are underrepresented. However, scabbards are particularly numerous. Only few elements give some informationabout the chronology. They point out the La Tène B2 period, which explain the difference between Meaux and La Villeneuve-au-Châtelot.“Miniatures” swords are also worth note. The question is: are they just functional object or symbolic one?
Baâlons-Bouvellemont : un sanctuaire à dépôts d’armes miniatures ?
International audience; On the Baâlons-Bouvellemont site, in the Ardennes, an important sanctuary has been discovered. Two phases have been identified (the first oflate Iron age and the second of early Roman period), with organized ritual deposits of hundreds of ceramics, coins, weapons and objects initiallyidentified as miniaturized weapons.
