Bronze with bird GIAMILOS / SIINV

The Senones were a Belgic Gaulish tribe whose territory centered on the upper Seine and Yonne valleys — the same people Caesar identified as particularly resistant during the Gallic Wars, their oppidum at Agedincum (modern Sens) holding out well into the final phases of the conquest. Bronze issues of this type circulated in a region under sustained military pressure from 57 BC onward, and the tribal coinage effectively ceased with the Roman pacification of central Gaul following Alesia in 52 BC.
