Commentary
Les deux armes tenues par le personnage allongé au revers ne sont pas visibles sur cet exemplaire. Cependant le style de la tête au droit correspond bien à la classe IV.
The two weapons held by the reclining figure on the reverse are not visible on this example. However, the style of the head on the right corresponds well to class IV

Historical background
GALLIA - AULERCI CENOMANI (Area of Le Mans)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Aulerci are a very large people who are subdivided into three large tribes, including the Aulerci Cenomani who were located to the south-east of the Aulerci Diablintes (Mayenne basin), in the current department of Sarthe. Their city in the Gallo-Roman era, Vindunum, perpetuates their name in the form of Le Mans. In 52 BC, they provided a contingent of five thousand men for the relief army of Vercingetorix, besieged in Alesia. Caesar (BG. VII, 75). Kruta: 72, 187, 266.
