| 背面描述 | A cruciform design composed of four tightly coiled volutes or scrolls radiating from a central point, each arm terminating in a rounded spiral, forming a swastika-like or pinwheel pattern deeply rooted in Celtic decorative art. The four volutes are rendered in bold relief and arranged symmetrically to fill the irregular cast flan. The composition is entirely aniconographic and devoid of any legend, typical of the abstract reverse types associated with Armorican potin issues attributed to the Durocasses. The surface shows characteristic casting roughness and dark patination. |

The Durocasses occupied territory around modern Dreux, in the Eure-et-Loir, and their potin issues represent one of the more geographically confined series from Armorican Gaul. Potin — a cast tin-bronze alloy — was the workhorse small denomination of northern and central Gallic tribes for much of the final two centuries BC, produced by casting rather than striking, which accounts for the frequent surface porosity seen on surviving pieces.
DT 2630 sits within a typological cluster that scholars have struggled to attribute with precision; the Durocasses assignment rests on findspot concentration data rather than any ancient written source.
