Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié pour le type. Manque aux principaux ouvrages consultés. Exemplaire présentant une homotypie de contiguïté avec le type de Mâlain (Cote-d’Or), (cf. MONNAIES XV, n° 906), pour le droit. Pièce techniquement importante car elle présente un défaut de coulée du flan important bien visible au niveau du droit. Le prototype de ce potin semble encore une fois le potin LT. 5284, lui même copié et imitant les bronzes au taureau de Marseille.
Seems to be completely unpublished and not listed for the type. Missing from the main works consulted. example showing a homotypy of contiguity with the Mâlain type (Cote-d'Or), (cf. MONNAIES XV, n° 906), for the obverse. Technically important piece because it presents a significant casting defect of the flan clearly visible at the obverse. The prototype of this potin seems once again to be potin LT. 5284, itself copied and imitating the bronzes with the bull of Marseille

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.
