Commentary
Exemplaire intéressant avec une petite partie de légende visible au-dessus du cheval au revers ! Les exemplaires connus de ce types semblent toujours avoir un flan très court avec seul “SAM F” lisible sous le cheval, peut-être peut-on deviner ici “Q. DOCI” sur la partie supérieur du revers.
Interesting example with a small part of the legend visible above the horse on the reverse! Known examples of this type always seem to have a very short blank with only “SAM F” readable under the horse, perhaps we can guess here “Q. DOCI” on the upper part of the reverse

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - SEQUANI (Area of Besançon)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Séquanes were one of the most important peoples of eastern Gaul. They were the enemies of the Aedui, their neighbors. Their territory was very vast and extended between the Saône, the Rhône, the Jura and the Vosges. The Jura lakes separated them from the Helvetians. They had been very powerful in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, but had lost their luster after the Germans had occupied part of their territory around 70 BC. Their neighbors were the Leuques, the Lingones, Aedui and Helvetians. Their principal oppidum was Vesontio (Besançon). Mentioned several times by Caesar, during the campaign of 52 BC, they provided a contingent of 12,000 men for the relief army. Caesar (BG. I, 1-3, 6, 8-10, 12, 19, 31-33, 35, 38, 40, 44, 48, 54; IV, 10; VI, 12; VII, 66, 67, 75, 90). Kruta: 16, 71, 111, 364.
