Commentary
Cet exemplaire est d’un typa particulièrement rare et intéressant. Le droit correspond au DT. 451 mais le revers a une sorte de bucrane à la place de l’annelet pointé au-dessus de la croupe du cheval.
C’est la première fois que nous proposons un bronze du type DT. 451 et cet exemplaire semble en présenter une variété iriginale !.
This example is of a particularly rare and interesting type. The obverse corresponds to DT. 451 but the reverse has a sort of bucranium in place of the pointed annulet above the horse's rump. This is the first time we have offered a bronze of the DT. 451 type and this example seems to present an original variety!

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.
