Commentary
Cette classe (B5) est caractérisée par le delta surmontant un demi-cercle, fermé, reste en fait d'un epsilon couché fermé, qui peut aussi laisser penser à la moitié d'une roue, placé sous le cheval.
Si le revers correspond au DT. 3196, le style de tête est plus proche des deniers avec la rouelle au revers, comme le DT. 3199.
This class (B5) is characterized by the delta surmounting a semicircle, closed, remains in fact of a closed lying epsilon, which can also suggest half of a wheel, placed under the horse. If the reverse corresponds to DT. 3196, the head style is closer to the deniers with the rouelle on the reverse, like DT. 3199

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - LINGONES (Area of Langres)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The territory of the Lingons was very vast, straddling the current department of Haute-Marne and part of the Côte d'Or, Yonne and Aube. Their capital was located in Langres. They were surrounded by the Sequani, the Mandubians, the Leuci, the Remes, the Suessions, the Senones and the Aedui. It was one of the largest civitas in Gaul. Langres, which has kept their name, seems to have been one of their oppida. Allies of the Romans, they did not take part in the War. The Helvetians, during their retreat after the defeat of Bibracte, crossed the Lingon territory. And in 52 BC, they did not send emissaries, did not join the revolt and did not participate in the relief army sent to Vercingetorix. On the other hand, in 51 before J. - C., they provided a contingent of cavalry to the Romans in order to fight the Bellovaques and the Belgians. They therefore remained faithful to the Roman alliance. They are quoted several times in Caesar's Commentaries. Caesar (BG. I, 26, 40; IV, 10; VI, 44; VII, 9, 63, 66; VIII, 11). Kruta: 21,111, 184, 187, 201, 251.
