Commentary
La technique de réalisation de ces monnaies, par coulée ou par frappe semble être encore indéterminée.
Cet exemplaire est intéressant encore globulaire, alors que certaines monnaies son plus plates. Mais la croix n’est presque plus visible.
The technique of making these coins, by casting or by striking, seems to be still undetermined. This example is interesting, still globular, while some coins are flatter. But the cross is almost no longer visible.

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).
