Commentary
Si l’astre entre les jambes est évident, le motif au-dessus du cheval est moins simple à interpréter. L’exemplaire DT. 301 a le même motif qui est décrit “deux cols de chevaux aux crinières perlées, repliées à la base par un U”.
Cet exemplaire est fortement décoré au droit avec une sorte d’œil, à la façon des statères à l’œil des Suessions, devant le personnage, d’un beau petit annelet perlé et pointé derrière lui et de cordons perlés entre les jambes .
If the star between the legs is obvious, the motif above the horse is less simple to interpret. The example DT. 301 has the same motif which is described as “two horse necks with pearl manes, folded at the base in a U”. This example is heavily decorated on the obverse with a sort of eye, in the manner of the eye staters of the Suessiones, in front of the figure, with a beautiful small pearl and pointed ringlet behind him and pearl cords between the legs

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - BELLOVACI (Area of Beauvais)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Bellovaques, people of Belgian Gaul, occupied the current department of Oise. Their neighbors were the Parisii, the Véliocasses, the Calètes, the Ambiens and the Suessions.. Caesar (BG. VII. 59) considers the Bellovaci as the "most valiant people in all of Gaul". Before the Gallic Wars, the Bellovaci had been allies of the Aedui. In 57 BC. -VS. , they were the architects of the uprising of the Belgian peoples, provided a contingent of sixty thousand warriors to the coalition, but were defeated and found refuge on their oppidum of Bratuspantium. In 52 BC. -VS. , they had promised a contingent of ten thousand men for the relief army. They recanted, claiming to fight the Romans alone. Finally, at the prayer of Commius, they gave two thousand men to the coalition. The following year, in 51 BC. -VS. , they took for the last time the head of a revolt of the Belgian people. Corréos, Bellovaque chief, led the sedition in order to fight the Romans with the Atrébates, the Ambiens, the Aulerques Éburovices, the Calètes and the Véliocasses. With the atrebate Commios, Correos met the Roman armies on the borders of the Bellovaci and Suession countries.. Correos was killed, which put an end to hostilities definitively.. The main oppidum of the Bellovaci was Bratuspantium which is difficult to identify with certainty with the Roman city of Caesaromagus (Beauvais). Caesar. (BG. II, 4, 5, 10, 13, 14; V, 46; VII, 59, 75, 90; viii, 6, 7, 12, 14-17, 20-23, 38). Strabo (G. IV, 3-5). Pliny (HN. IV, 106). Ptolemy (G. II, 9). Kruta: 68, 351.
