Commentary
La classe Ie a la caractéristique d’avoir un bandeau torsadé et une mèche parallèle au bandeau en retombant sur la nuque. Au revers, les deux annelets périphériques ne sont pas joints à l'annelet central qui surmonte la hampe mais les pattes du sanglier reposent dessus.
Class Ie has the characteristic of having a twisted headband and a lock parallel to the headband falling on the nape of the neck. On the reverse, the two peripheral rings are not joined to the central ring which surmounts the shaft but the boar's legs rest on it

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - LEUCI (Area of Toul)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Leuques are mentioned only once in the Gallic Wars. Their neighbors were the Médiomatriques, the Lingons and the Séquanes. The Leuques as well as the Séquanes and the Lingones provided Caesar with wheat when the Roman army stopped at Vesontio (Besançon) to refuel before facing the Germans of Ariovistus (58 BC). Caesar (BG. I, 40).
