Commentary
L’attribution de ce potin, toujours mal venu à la coulée varie entre les Carnutes et les Durocasses, mais il semblerait que les provenances soient plutôt concentrées autour de Dreux.

Historical background
DUROCASSIS UNSPECIFIED
(1st century BC)
The Durocasses are not cited by Caesar in the Gallic Wars. They seem to have emancipated themselves from Carnut tutelage quite late, like the Parisii from that of the Senones. Their name means "the warriors of the fortified hill". Certain coins, reputed to be carnutes, could probably be attributed to them!.
