Comment
On some examples of type LT. 5542, the legend is interpreted by four ringlets as DOCI.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that the Sequani tribe, who issued it, were known for their skilled warriors and their fierce resistance against the Roman Empire's expansion into their territory. Despite their efforts, the Sequani ultimately became a Roman client state, and their coinage, like this Potin, reflects the blending of Celtic and Roman cultural influences.
