Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire, les annelets centrés sont à bien visibles devant le visage. Sous le cheval, le sanglier posé sur sa hampe est bien une enseigne (partiellement hors flan ici).
On this example, the centered rings are clearly visible in front of the face. Below the horse, the boar perched on its pole is indeed a sign (partially off-flank here).

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.
