Additional information

The Sequani occupied the territory around modern Besançon in eastern Gaul, and their potin coinage was already in circulation when Caesar's legions crossed into the region in 58 BC — the same year he used a Sequani appeal for military aid as the pretext to begin the Gallic Wars. Whether this small-module variant was struck before or after Roman intervention became permanent is impossible to fix precisely, but the type was dead within a decade. The "var." notations against both LT and DT reflect die-link inconsistencies that have never been fully resolved in the literature.
