Commentary
Ce statère est exceptionnel par l’orientation de l'œil ; tous les exemplaires sont tournés vers la droite ; il semble que ce soit le premier à être tourné à gauche. Semble être complètement inédit et manquer à tous les musées consultés et aux ouvrages de référence tels que le Traité de S. Scheers ou le "Nouvel atlas" de L.-P. Delestrée.
This stater is exceptional because of the orientation of the eye; all examples are turned to the right; it seems to be the first to be turned to the left. It seems to be completely new and missing from all the museums consulted and from reference works such as the Traité by S. Scheers or the \\\"New Atlas\\\" by L.-P. Delestrée

Historical background
TREVIRI, Unspecified
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Treveri were a very important tribe of Belgian Gaul who controlled both banks of the Moselle. Their neighbors were the Atuatuci, the Eburones, the Remes and the Mediomatrics. Their main oppidum was in Titelberg (Luxembourg). Their capital was Trier which was refounded by Augustus as Colonia Augusta Treverorum. This tribe is often cited by Caesar. The Treveri took part in the War in particular in 54, during the revolt of Ambiorix in order to cut the lines of Caesar after having massacred the troops of Sabinus and Cotta. The Treveri do not seem to have sent relief troops in 52 BC Caesar (BG. I, 37; II, 24; III, 11; IV, 6, 10; V, 2-4, 24, 47 , 53, 55, 58; VII, 63; VIII, 25, 45, 52). Kruta: 41, 89, 277, 348.
