Commentary
Il est surprenant de trouver des similitudes stylistiques et iconographiques relativement frappantes entre les monnaies de cette série (quarts et statères) et les séries de statères attribuées aux Cénomans ; ces monnaies étaient d'ailleurs classées aux Cénomans lors de la rédaction du Muret-Chabouillet.
It is surprising to find relatively striking stylistic and iconographic similarities between the coins of this series (quarters and staters) and the series of staters attributed to the Cenomans; these coins were also classified as Cenomans when Muret-Chabouillet was written.

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.
