Commentary
Pour ces monnaies globulaires, il existe deux types bien distincts ; avec le segment au revers ou avec une dépression (parfois très légèrement pointillée) sans le segment. Cet exemplaire a un revers sans segment. La dépression du revers est bien nette et régulière, mais lisse ; avec un revers si net, cet exemplaire appartient au second type, qui semble d’ailleurs être inédit.
For these globular coins, there are two distinct types; with the segment on the reverse or with a depression (sometimes very slightly dotted) without the segment. This example has a reverse without a segment. The depression on the reverse is very clean and regular, but smooth; with such a clean reverse, this example belongs to the second type, which also seems to be unprecedented.

Historical background
SENONES (Area of Sens)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Sénons, whose name means the sages or the elders, controlled a vast territory which extended between the south of Champagne and the north of Burgundy. Their main oppidum was Agedincum (Sens) which still retains the name of the ancient civitas today. They had several other oppida like Auxerre, Tonnerre or Avallon. Divona seems to have been the principal sanctuary of the Senones. Caesar had wintered six of his legions in 53 BC at Agedincum. Labienus, Caesar's lieutenant and legate, came to settle in the region of Sens between Gergovie and Alesia in order to control the roads and protect Caesar's armies from an attack from the Belgians or the Germans. Caesar (BG. II, 2; V, 54, 56; VI, 2, 3, 44; VII, 4, 10, 11, 34, 56-59, 62, 75). Ptolemy (G. II, 8, 9).
