Commentary
Proche dans le style des quarts attribués aux Rèmes, cet exemplaire semble plutôt correspondre aux monnaies DT. 407 et 408 (en or et en argent), de la série trimétallique cheval/cheval, bien que le cheval du droit soit assez peu explicite ?
Ce n’est que le troisième que nous proposons après le bga_288343 et le bga_288344.
Close in style to the quarters attributed to the Remi, this example seems to correspond rather to the coins DT. 407 and 408 (in gold and silver), from the trimetallic horse/horse series, although the horse on the obverse is rather unclear? This is only the third that we propose after bga_288343 and bga_288344

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.
