Commentary
Poids léger. Cet exemplaire semble contenir des traces d’or plus importantes, visibles au revers. Cependant, son poids léger ne correspond pas à la moyenne pondérale de la classe 9, normalement plus lourd. Ce phénomène avait déjà été signalé dans MONNAIES II, n° 572.
Light weight. This example appears to contain more significant traces of gold, visible on the reverse. However, its light weight does not correspond to the average weight of the normally heavier Class 9. This phenomenon had already been noted in COINS II, No. 572

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.
