Commentary
Cet exemplaire de la classe II a exactement le même défaut au revers, sur l’arrière du sanglier, que l’exemplaire BN 8145 gravé dans le LA TOUR, ainsi que l’exemplaire n° 329 du Musée de Zürich, le n°583 de MONNAIES II et le n° 1299 de MONNAIES XV. Ces quatre exemplaires pourraient être issus du même moule ou tout du moins de moules fabriqués à l’aide d’une même “matrice”.
This Class II example has exactly the same defect on the reverse, on the back of the boar, as example BN 8145 engraved in LA TOUR, as well as example no. 329 from the Zurich Museum, no. 583 from COINS II and no. 1299 from COINS XV. These four examples could have come from the same mold or at least from molds made using the same “matrix”

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.
