Commentary
A propos de l’exemplaire DT. 374, les auteurs signalent que les provenances de ce bronze sont centrées sur la haute vallée de la Bresle : cette émission locale parait due à un peuple périphérique, au sud-ouest du territoire des Ambiens.
About the DT copy. 374, the authors point out that the origins of this bronze are centered on the upper Bresle valley: this local emission appears to be due to a peripheral people, to the southwest of the Ambiens territory

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.
