Commentary
Cet exemplaire présente un avers très originale qui ne ne permet pas de dire ce statère uniface ; une ligne courbe en relief sépare clairement le flan en deux et le bord du flan est orné de petits triangles en reliefs. Ces particularités sont typiques du DT. 241 où les triangles sont assez nets mais la ligne courbe à peine visible.
This example has a very original obverse which makes it difficult to distinguish this stater as a single-sided one; a curved line in relief clearly separates the flan in two and the edge of the flan is decorated with small triangles in relief. These features are typical of DT. 241 where the triangles are quite clear but the curved line is barely visible.

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.
