Commentary
Comme pour les potins des Suessions aux animaux affrontés, le droit a souvent été mal interprété et les animaux pris à l'envers. L'orientation habituelle est 12 heures et non pas 6 heures. Ce type précis, sans annelet au droit, et avec un double listel au droit comme au revers, manque au Gäumann et au DT..
As with the Suessiones gossip with confronted animals, the obverse has often been misinterpreted and the animals taken upside down. The usual orientation is 12 o'clock and not 6 o'clock. This precise type, without an annulet on the obverse, and with a double listel on both the obverse and reverse, is missing from Gäumann and DT.

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.
