Commentary
Poids léger. Le flan est légèrement bombé. La trace de cassure du penon de coulée est encore visible à 2 heures. Techniquement au revers, nous percevons bien la trace du coin qui a bougé et laissé son empreinte sur le bord inférieur du flan, laissant apparaître une dépression entre le rebord du métal et le creux du coin.
Lightweight. The flan is slightly domed. The trace of the casting pennon breaking is still visible at 2 o'clock. Technically on the reverse, we can clearly see the trace of the die moving and leaving its mark on the lower edge of the flan, revealing a depression between the edge of the metal and the hollow of the die.

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).
