Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire, le côté de la croisette est relativement plat et mal venu. Le poids est relativement léger. La pièce, vue sous un certain angle pourrait donner l'impression d'avoir les restes d'une tête frappée à droite, le centre de la croisette constituerait l'ossature du visage avec le nez et la bouche.
On this example, the side of the cross is relatively flat and unwelcome. The weight is relatively light. The piece, seen from a certain angle, could give the impression of having the remains of a head struck on the right, the center of the cross would constitute the framework of the face with the nose and the mouth

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).
