Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire, le revers semble arasé et seul le droit permet d’attribuer ce potin et de le restituer pour le type aux volutes cruciformes.
On this example, the reverse seems leveled and only the obverse allows this potin to be attributed and restored to the type with cruciform volutes.

Historical background
DUROCASSIS (Area of Dreux)
(2nd - 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"..
