CGF attribute this type to the Petrocorii 'the four armies' and they're probably right to do so. Strabo - his name means 'squint-eyed' - indicates that the Petrocorii were very good metal-workers (Geog. IV, 2, 2). Caesar says Vercingetorix asked them to supply 5,000 troops for his rebellion (BG VIII, 75). Depeyrot records only 18 examples of this very rare type, most of them in museums.
