Commentary


Était complètement inédit et mal répertorié avant la publication de L.-P. Delestrée en 1990. Ce type est copié pour le droit sur le bronze “aux abeilles” (cf. MONNAIES XV, n° 1253) et pour le revers, des drachmes d’argent de Marseille (cf. Br/L. série 9, 66/1-4 = BN 1166). Sur cet exemplaire, au-dessus du rinceau, on découvre un astre entre deux annelets pointés.
Was completely unpublished and poorly listed before the publication of L.-P. Delestrée in 1990. This type is copied for the right on the bronze “with bees” (cf. COINS XV, n° 1253) and for the reverse, silver drachmas from Marseille (cf. Br/L. series 9, 66/1-4 = BN 1166). On this example, above the scroll, we discover a star between two pointed ringlets

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.
