Commentary
Le droit de ce bronze est exceptionnel, avec une chevelure particulièrement développée et un grènetis qui s'y fusionne jusqu'à en faire partie intégrante.
The right of this bronze is exceptional, with particularly developed hair and a graining which merges with it until it becomes an integral part of it.

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).
