Un cas de mobilité individuelle aux IVe et IIIe s. a.C. : l’exemple des pièces de jeu d’origine italique trouvées au nord des Alpes
Résumé
A blue glass pawn game (tessera lusoria) decorated with a white spiral was found in the site of Vieux-Poitiers (Vienne); it should be referred to a type of the 4th-3rd century BC, of Central-Italic origin. The diffusion of this kind of objects for a game that will gain great popularity in Roman Age, is not linked to trade relations, but should be connected to individual moving. The presence of dices and pawn in a very few Transalpine graves should indicate persons who passed some time at the Celtic Italic groups, such as the Senoni of the Adriatic area or the people of the Umbria region. They afterwards introduced the table games once back to Gaul. It is quite interesting how some simple objects can trace the routes followed by some individuals, such as adventurers or may be Senon escaping after the battle of Sentinum.
