Commentary
Cet exemplaire permet de compléter la lecture de ce type qui n’était pas complet jusque là (seul le bronze BN 8441 avait été retenu pour illustrer le Traité de S. Scheers). Ce bronze n’a pas été repris dans la typologie “du fonds commun” des Ambiani, pour la série 46 alors qu’il aurait mérité d’être individualisé.
This example allows us to complete the reading of this type which was not complete until then (only the bronze BN 8441 had been retained to illustrate the Treatise of S. Scheers). This bronze was not included in the “common fund” typology of the Ambiani, for series 46 although it would have deserved to be individualized

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.
