Commentary
Ces deniers sont tantôt attribués aux Vindelici tantôt aux Helvètes ; ils circulèrent vraisemblablement dans cette aire géographique entre Allemagne et Suisse, voir même dans l'Est de la France.
Cette variété avec une croisette devant le poitrail et une sorte de branche entre les jambes semble excessivement rare, puisqu'elle manque aux publications consultées.
These coins are sometimes attributed to the Vindelici and sometimes to the Helvetians; they probably circulated in this geographical area between Germany and Switzerland, and even in the East of France. This variety with a cross in front of the chest and a sort of branch between the legs seems extremely rare, since it is missing from the publications consulted

Historical background
