Commentary
Ce type avec la tête à gauche est particulièrement rare ; le DT. 282 y correspond, mais associé à un cheval à gauche au revers. Notre revers avec un cheval à droite entre deux astres n’est pas repris dans le Nouvel Atlas. Les chevaux à droite n’ont pas d’astre entre les jambes du cheval. La seule monnaie avec les deux astres a un cheval à gauche !
Ce quart de statère semble être issu du même coin de droit que le n° 50 (de coins D5 - R7) de l’article de L.P. Delestrée, C. Delplace, associé à un revers à droite avec les deux astres. Les liaisons de coins sont nombreuses dans ce petit monnayage, mais il est difficile de les établir en raison de la qualité des photos des moulages qui illustrent l'article de référence de 1987.
Le coin D5 a servi à frapper les monnaies JI12, CG10 et EB17 de Digeon et aussi le n° 966 de MONNAIES 45.
This type with the head on the left is particularly rare; DT. 282 corresponds to it, but associated with a horse on the left on the reverse. Our reverse with a horse on the right between two stars is not included in the New Atlas. The horses on the right do not have a star between the horse's legs. The only coin with the two stars has a horse on the left! This quarter stater seems to come from the same obverse die as No. 50 (from dies D5 - R7) in the article by LP Delestrée, C. Delplace, associated with a reverse on the right with the two stars. There are many die links in this small coinage, but it is difficult to establish them due to the quality of the photos of the casts that illustrate the reference article from 1987. The D5 die was used to strike the coins JI12, CG10 and EB17 of Digeon and also No. 966 of MONNAIES 45

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.
