Commentary
Beaucoup de ces bronzes sont issus des mêmes coins. Les exemplaires du musée de Rouen, proviennent de Saint-André-sur-Cailly. Cette émission, assez bien représentée dans les collections publiques publiées, reste très rare sur le marché !.
Many of these bronzes come from the same areas. The examples in the Rouen museum come from Saint-André-sur-Cailly. This issue, fairly well represented in published public collections, remains very rare on the market!

Historical background
VELIOCASSES (Area of Norman Vexin)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Véliocasses, people of Belgian Gaul, lived in the Norman Vexin located in the current department of Seine-Maritime. Their neighbors were the Lexovians and the Aulerci Éburovices, with the Seine as their border, and on the other side the Parisii, the Calètes and the Bellovaques. They participated in the Belgian coalition of 57 BC, led by the Bellovaques and provided a contingent of ten thousand men. But in 52 BC, for the relief army to release Vercingetorix besieged in Alesia, they only gave three thousand men. The following year, in 51 BC, they took part for the last time in the coalition of the Belgians in revolt under the leadership of the Bellovaques. Their main oppidum was Rouen (Rotomagus). Caesar (BG. II, 4; VII, 75; VIII, 7); Pliny (HN. IV). Ptolemy (G. II, 8). Kruta: 366.
