Commentary


Cette monnaie ne semble pas être isssue des mêmes coins que les deux autres exemplaires connus (celui du Nouvel Atlas de L.-P. Delestrée et M. Tache, qui était inédit et celui de MONNAIES XV, n° 1202).
Ce type présente une synthèse typologique entre les deniers en argent des Bellovaques (LT. 7241), les bronzes aux animaux affrontés des Aulerques Éburovices (LT. 8529) et les bronzes aux sangliers affrontés des Ambiens (LT. 518-8522).
This coin does not seem to come from the same coins as the two other known examples (that of the Nouvel Atlas by L.-P. Delestrée and M. Tache, which was unpublished and that of MONNAIES XV, n° 1202). This type presents a typological synthesis between the silver denarii of the Bellovaci (LT. 7241), the bronzes with confronted animals from the Aulerci Eburovices (LT. 8529) and the bronzes with confronted boars from the Ambiens (LT. 518-8522)

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.
