| 背面描述 | A prancing horse facing left occupies the central field, rendered in the energetic, abstracted style typical of Gaulish coinage of the late La Tène period. Above the horse, swirling lyre-shaped or volute ornamental devices fill the upper field, while a crescent and a small annulet or star appear to the right. A row of pellets is visible in the lower field beneath the horse. The legend CANTORIX is inscribed in Latin characters around the upper periphery, identifying the issuing authority or chieftain. |

The Sequani occupied the territory of modern Franche-Comté and were among the more politically volatile Gallic peoples of the late republic period — they invited Ariovistus and his Germanic Suebi across the Rhine around 71 BC to gain advantage over their rivals the Aedui, a decision that contributed directly to the conditions Caesar used to justify his Gallic intervention. TVRONOS and CANTORIX are believed to be magistrate or chieftain names, a naming convention on Sequani bronzes that gives these issues unusual prosopographical value for reconstructing tribal leadership structures otherwise absent from written sources.
