Commentary
La particularité de cette variété est d'avoir un animal tout à fait différent des exemplaires précédents ; il ferait penser à un ruminant (cerf ou élan), comparable à celui du potin LT. 8143. La sorte de bourrelet écrasé par l'animal du revers est limité à un petit segment qui fait corps avec la patte avant de l'animal sur cette variété.
The particularity of this variety is to have an animal completely different from the previous examples; it would make one think of a ruminant (deer or elk), comparable to that of the potin LT. 8143. The kind of ridge crushed by the animal on the reverse is limited to a small segment which is part of the front leg of the animal on this variety

Historical background
GALLIA BELGICA - REMI (Area of Reims)
(2nd - 1st century BC)
The Remi were one of the most powerful peoples of Gaul and loyal allies of the Romans. The territory of the Rèmes extended over present-day Champagne, along the Aisne. They had for neighbors the Atuatuci, the Treveri, the Mediomatrics, the Lingones, the Suessions, the Bellovaci and the Nervians. They denounced to Caesar the coalition of Belgian peoples of 57 BC which included the Suessions who shared the same laws and the same magistrates. Their main oppidum was Bibrax. The capital of the civitas in Gallo-Roman times was Durocortorum (Reims). Caesar (BG. II, 3-5, 7, 12; III, 11; V, 3, 24, 53, 54, 56; VI, 4, 12, 44; VII, 63, 90; VIII, 6, 11) . Strabo (G. IV, 3, 5). Kruta: 70, 313-314, 366.
