Commentary
Les ouvrages de référence ne prennent en considération que les monnaies en argent ou en or et électrum pour les Baïocasses ; il existe aussi une série de bronze, au même type que les statères, mais d'un module moindre.
The reference works only take into consideration the coins in silver or gold and electrum for the Baiocasses; there is also a series of bronze, of the same type as the staters, but of a lesser module

Historical background
GALLIA - BAÏOCASSES (Area of Bayeux)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Baïocasses or Bodiocasses are not mentioned in Caesar's Gallic Wars. It is Pliny the Elder who speaks of it first. The Baiocasses occupied part of present-day Normandy, the Bessin. Their neighbors were the Unelles, the Viducasses and the Véliocasses. Their main oppidum was Augustodurum (Bayeux). Pliny (HN. IV, 107). Ptolemy (G. II, 8).
