Commentary
Le revers n’est pas sans rappeler le bronze LT. 7342 (du dépôt de Saint-André-sur-Cailly, cf. DT. 662), ce qui confirmerait l’attribution aux Véliocasses.
The reverse is reminiscent of the bronze LT. 7342 (from the deposit of Saint-André-sur-Cailly, cf. DT. 662), which would confirm the attribution to the Véliocasses

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.
