Commentary
Ce n’est que la seconde fois que nous proposons ce rarissime bronze à la vente. Au droit comme au revers, les légendes sont incomplètes, mais EBVRO est particulièrement nette au droit, comme EBVROVICO au revers.
This is only the second time we have offered this extremely rare bronze for sale. On both the obverse and reverse, the legends are incomplete, but EBVRO is particularly clear on the obverse, as is EBVROVICO on the reverse.

Historical background
GALLIA - AULERCI EBUROVICES (Area of Évreux)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Aulerci were subdivided into three tribes: Aulerci Diablintes, Aulerci Cenomani and Aulerci Éburovices. The territory of Aulerques Éburovices corresponds to the current department of Eure. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. According to the latter, they would have massacred their Senate favorable to the Romans in 56 BC and would have joined the Unelles and the revolted Lexoviens. In 52 BC, they provided a contingent of three thousand men to the relief army. : Caesar (BG.(II, 34; III, 17, 29; VII, 4, 75; VIII, 7). Kruta: 72.
