Commentary
Semble être de mêmes coins de droit et de revers que l’exemplaire n° 329 du Musée Danicourt de Péronne. Il n’y a aucun symbole sous le lion. Le droit semble être plus stylisé que sur les exemplaires précédents.
Appears to be the same obverse and reverse dies as copy No. 329 in the Danicourt Museum in Péronne. There is no symbol under the lion. The obverse appears to be more stylized than on earlier examples.

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - MELDI (Area of Meaux)
(1st century BC)
The Meldes are mentioned only once in Caesar's work. This small people lived between the Seine and the Marne in the plain of Brie with Meaux as its capital. The Meldes emancipated themselves late from the tutelage of the Suessions and the Remes at the time of the Gallic Wars. Having become independent in 57 BC, the Meldes chose to ally with the Romans. Caesar had sixty ships built by the Meldes, in 55 BC, for the expedition to Brittany. Caesar (BG. V, 5).
