Commentary
Avant la publication du “Nouvel atlas” de L.-P. Delestrée et M. Tache, ce type était complètement inédit. Il revient à S. Gouet d’avoir identifié cette nouvelle légende qui ne figurait pas au RIG. Il faut d’ailleurs restituer la légende qui a été lue REV au lieu de TREV.

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.
