Commentary
Ces quarts sont très nombreux et variés ; sur cet exemplaire la crinière en croissant est très caractéristique, de même que les globules sous le cheval. Il semblerait que ce quart se rapproche de la classe XI, mais il a trop de globules par rapport aux autres monnaies de cette classe. Le métal semble assez bon, l'alliage utilisé pour ces monnaies est le plus souvent très cuivreux !.
These quarters are very numerous and varied; on this example the crescent mane is very characteristic, as are the globules under the horse. It would seem that this quarter is close to class XI, but it has too many globules compared to the other coins of this class. The metal seems quite good, the alloy used for these coins is most often very coppery!

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.
