Commentary


La tête, peu visible sur cet exemplaire, semble surmontée d’une volute en forme de fleur de lis comme on le rencontre parfois sur le monnayage picton. Le casque est donc fortement stylisé.
The head, barely visible on this example, seems to be topped with a fleur-de-lis shaped volute as is sometimes found on Picton coinage. The helmet is therefore highly stylized.

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"..
