Commentary
Ce type précis correspond au n° 1637 de MONNAIES 38 !
Cette variante est bien plus rare qu’il n’y semble.
Ce potin ne correspond pas au DT. 3254 ; il existe effectivement deux types de potin TOC au cheval en fonction du module et de la légende. Le potin DT. S3257B présente le même motif () entre les jambes et au-dessus du dos du cheval.
Cet exemplaire d'un petit module manque au Nouvel Atlas, avec un Q au-dessus du cheval et () entre les jambes.

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - SEQUANI (Area of Besançon)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Séquanes were one of the most important peoples of eastern Gaul. They were the enemies of the Aedui, their neighbors. Their territory was very vast and extended between the Saône, the Rhône, the Jura and the Vosges. The Jura lakes separated them from the Helvetians. They had been very powerful in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, but had lost their luster after the Germans had occupied part of their territory around 70 BC. Their neighbors were the Leuques, the Lingones, Aedui and Helvetians. Their principal oppidum was Vesontio (Besançon). Mentioned several times by Caesar, during the campaign of 52 BC, they provided a contingent of 12,000 men for the relief army. Caesar (BG. I, 1-3, 6, 8-10, 12, 19, 31-33, 35, 38, 40, 44, 48, 54; IV, 10; VI, 12; VII, 66, 67, 75, 90). Kruta: 16, 71, 111, 364.
