Commentary
Ce potin, dit au pseudo-cimier dans le Nouvel Atlas (il constitue à lui tout seule la série 574) est particulièrement rare et les quelques exemplaires qui circulent sont souvent de mauvaise facture, avec un flan irrégulier et souvent mal ébarbé. Une attribution aux Mandubiens est tout à fait probable.
This potin, called pseudo-crest in the New Atlas (it alone constitutes series 574) is particularly rare and the few examples that circulate are often of poor quality, with an irregular and often poorly trimmed flan. An attribution to the Mandubians is quite probable

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).
