Commentary
Ce bronze est très rare ; le cheval est nettement androcéphale au revers. Le droit avec un petit cheval devant le personnage est caractéristique du DT. 319 ! Mais sur la quinzaine de bronze à l’archer que nous avons eu, cet exemplaire se rapproche du bga_238128 de CELTIC IV et du bga_282695 de la collection JCD : ce sont les trois seuls qui ont le triangle inscrit dans un cordon perlé et l’annelet perlé entouré d’une ligne ondulée ! ! Cette variante manque au Nouvel Atlas.
This bronze is very rare; the horse is clearly androcephalic on the reverse. The obverse with a small horse in front of the figure is characteristic of DT. 319! But of the fifteen bronze archers we have had, this example is close to bga_238128 from CELTIC IV and bga_282695 from the JCD collection: these are the only three that have the triangle inscribed in a beaded cord and the beaded ringlet surrounded by a wavy line!! This variant is missing from the New Atlas

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.
