| Additional information |
The Suessiones occupied the valley of the Aisne in what is now Picardy, and Caesar credited their king Diviciacus with having held authority over parts of Britain — a claim disputed by modern scholars but suggestive of real regional power. Their gold staters were almost certainly struck in the decade immediately preceding Caesar's Gallic campaigns, which began in 58 BC and effectively ended the independent coinage traditions of the northern Belgic tribes within a generation.
DT#170 is among the more precisely documented Suessioni types in the Delestrée-Tache corpus.
