Bronze with helmeted head and horse

The Durocasses were a Gaulish people centered around modern Dreux, in the Eure-et-Loir. Their bronze coinage was struck during the decade bracketed by Caesar's campaigns in Gaul — the same years that saw the tribe absorbed, along with its neighbors, into the grinding machinery of Roman pacification. Whether this issue predates submission or overlaps with it is difficult to establish precisely, but production almost certainly ceased with the consolidation of Roman administrative control over the region around 50 BC.
