Commentary
Contrairement au précédent, cet exemplaire ne permet pas de déterminer la nature du motif sous l’exergue, mais il est probable qu’il s’agisse du même type que le DT. 240. Au droit, l’empreinte du bord du coin est assez nette !.
Unlike the previous one, this example does not allow us to determine the nature of the motif under the exergue, but it is likely that it is the same type as DT. 240. On the obverse, the imprint of the edge of the die is quite clear!

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.
