Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire, les annelets centrés ne sont visibles devant le visage, ni derrière le cheval. Sous le cheval, le sanglier posé sur sa hampe est bien une enseigne.
On this example, the centered rings are not visible in front of the face, nor behind the horse. Under the horse, the boar perched on its pole is indeed a sign.

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.
