Commentary
Potin d’un type très rare. Les exemplaires d'Évreux sont dans un trop triste état pour établir des comparaisons de coins pertinentes. Certaines monnaies visiblement appartenant à un même série sont décrit comme des bronzes frappés ou comme des potins ; avec cet exemplaire, il ne semble pas qu'il y ait d'ambiguïté sur la nature coulée de cette monnaie.
Potin of a very rare type. The Evreux examples are in too poor a condition to make relevant die comparisons. Some coins that clearly belong to the same series are described as struck bronzes or as potins; with this example, there does not seem to be any ambiguity about the cast nature of this coin.

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.
