Commentary
Ce très rare potin semble manquer à tous les musées publiés (sauf la BN) consultés y compris au "Catalogue de monnaies gauloises du British Museum et d'autres collections britanniques" par Derek Allen. S. Scheers dans son inventaire ne reprenait que les trois exemplaires conservés à la BN et illustre dans son Traité le même exemplaire que celui qui fut gravé par Dardel au XIXe siècle pour illustrer le LA TOUR. L'attribution proposée serait entre les Meldes et les Bellovaques.

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).
