Commentary
Le droit de ces potins attribués aux Trévires est comparable à celui des Rèmes ; le torque est comme un annelet pointé et la lance a un demi arc de cercle en son centre. Les divers éléments identifiables semblent plutôt avoir une fonction décorative.
The right of these gossips attributed to the Treveri is comparable to that of the Remi; the torque is like a pointed ringlet and the spear has a half arc of a circle in its center. The various identifiable elements seem rather to have a decorative function.

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.
