In June 1848, the French Republic sent its army against the very workers who had helped build it - and someone struck this brass medal to make sure they were not forgotten. On one side, a standing female Republic holds a Phrygian pike and laurel crown, her hand resting on a lictor's fasces beside a column engraved with a spirit level, symbol of equality. On the other, an armed man stands on a barricade. This anonymous Paris medal calls those fallen insurgents martyrs for both order and liberty - a contradiction that cuts to the heart of 1848.
