Commentary
Au revers, le personnage ailé serait en fait un guerrier tenant un bouclier sur certains exemplaires. Cet exemplaire présente un revers particulièrement net et bien venu et un avers un peu stylisé, d’une facture inhabituelle !.
On the reverse, the winged figure is actually a warrior holding a shield on some examples. This example has a particularly clean and welcome reverse and a slightly stylized obverse, of unusual design!

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.
