Commentary
Au revers de cet exemplaire, les trois globules placés au-dessus de la ligne médiane sont agglomérés et liés entre eux. En examinant attentivement la ligne inférieure, le même phénomène existe et une ligne semble lier les trois globules.
On the reverse of this specimen, the three globules placed above the middle line are agglomerated and linked together. On close examination of the lower line, the same phenomenon exists and a line seems to link the three globules

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!.
