Commentary
Ce type précis, avec les animaux du droit reposant sur un pilier torsadé au sommet globulaire, et avec un double listel au droit comme au revers, manque au Gäumann et au Nouvel Atlas. Les deux autres exemplaires que nous avons proposé sont le n0 1345 de MONNAIES XV et le bga_275063.
This precise type, with the animals on the obverse resting on a twisted pillar with a globular top, and with a double listel on both the obverse and reverse, is missing from the Gäumann and the New Atlas. The two other examples we have proposed are number 1345 of MONNAIES XV and bga_275063

Historical background
TREVIRI (Area of Trier)
(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.
