Commentary
Ce type de bronze est vraiment très rare. La seule provenance connue pour ce type est celle de Verneuil-sur-Avre dans l'Eure où 3 exemplaires ont été recueillis. Précédemment, ce type avait été attribué soit aux Carnutes, soit aux Essui. Aujourd'hui, une attribution aux Aulerques Éburovices semble possible.

Historical background
GALLIA - AULERCI EBUROVICES (Area of Évreux)
(3rd - 1st century BC)
The Aulerci were subdivided into three tribes: Aulerci Diablintes, Aulerci Cenomani and Aulerci Éburovices. The territory of Aulerques Éburovices corresponds to the current department of Eure. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. According to the latter, they would have massacred their Senate favorable to the Romans in 56 BC and would have joined the Unelles and the revolted Lexoviens. In 52 BC, they provided a contingent of three thousand men to the relief army. : Caesar (BG.(II, 34; III, 17, 29; VII, 4, 75; VIII, 7). Kruta: 72.
