Commentary
Ce statère appartient à la deuxième phase du monnayage ambien ; les flans ont tendance à être plus étroits et à s’épaissir, mais les monnaies sont toujours bifaces, avec une tête stylisée au droit. Cet exemplaire est de joli style.
L’exemplaire bga_382111 de même style, dans E-MONNAIES a été vendu 2700€.
This stater belongs to the second phase of the Ambian coinage; the flans tend to be narrower and thicker, but the coins are always two-sided, with a stylized head on the obverse. This example is in a beautiful style. The example bga_382111 of the same style, in E-MONNAIES, was sold for €2,700

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.
