Commentary
L'interprétation de l'animal du droit et du petit animal secondaire du revers n'est pas très aisée, mais les propositions sont variées ; du canard au cheval sans membres...
Avec un cavalier au revers, ce type était inédit avant la publication du supplément au DT !
C’est la première fois que nous le présentons à la vente.
The interpretation of the animal on the right and the small secondary animal on the reverse is not very easy, but the propositions are varied; from a duck to a limbless horse... With a rider on the reverse, this type was unpublished before the publication of the supplement to the DT! This is the first time we are presenting it for sale

Historical background
AMBIANI (Area of Amiens)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Their name, "those who are on both sides of the river", indicates that the Ambiens, people of Belgian Gaul, occupied both banks of the Somme (Samara). Their territory corresponds to the current department of the Somme. Their neighbors were the Calètes, the Morins, the Atrébates, the Bellovaques. Their main oppidum was Samarobriva (near Amiens). They participated in the coalition of the Belgian peoples in 57 BC and provided a contingent of ten thousand men. In 52 BC, it was a contingent of five thousand men that they gave for the relief army dedicated to clearing Alesia. Caesar (BG. II, 4, 15; VII, 75; VIII, 7). Strabo (G. IV, 5). Kruta: 68, 110, 366.
