Commentary
Cet exemplaire est articulièrement intéressant ; il n’a pas les deux petites esses autour du gros globules entre les jambes du cheval, mais il a l’autre caractéristique de cette variété, à savoir le gros globule dans un annelet perlé devant le cheval. Cette variété manque au Nouvel Atlas.
This specimen is particularly interesting; it does not have the two small esses around the large globule between the horse's legs, but it does have the other characteristic of this variety, namely the large globule in a pearl ringlet in front of the horse. This variety is missing from the New Atlas

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.
