Commentary

Ce très rare bronze correspond au DT. 415 (considéré comme unique depuis sa publication en 1973 et provenant du dépôt de fouille de Eu, Seine-Maritime).
La légende du revers, VORON n’est pas sans rappeler le DT. S 657A.
L’association de ces deux animaux au droit et au revers est étrangement très proche de celle des bronzes à légende EPV, de la série 423 (DT. 2439) attribuée aux Aulerques Eburovices.

The legend on the reverse, VORON, is reminiscent of DT. S 657A. The association of these two animals on the obverse and reverse is strangely very close to that of the bronzes with the EPV legend, from series 423 (DT. 2439) attributed to the Aulerci Eburovices
