Commentary
Monnaie fourrée. Bien que d’un style particulier, et manquant au Nouvel Atlas, ce quart s’intègre dans la Classe II “”au triskèle”. Aucun quart de ce type ne semble répertorié, la classe III n’étant représentée que par un statère avec avers et revers à gauche (comme pour notre quart).
Filled coin. Although of a particular style, and missing from the New Atlas, this quarter fits into Class II “with the triskelion”. No quarter of this type seems to be recorded, Class III being represented only by a stater with obverse and reverse on the left (as for our quarter)

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).
