Commentary
Ce bronze appartient sans hésitation à la classe II ; la fleur à quatre pétales est bien visible derrière la nuque. Sur cette classe II, il semble qu’il n’y ait pas d’annelet sous le lion, mais seulement le dauphin (souvent hors flan).
This bronze belongs without hesitation to class II; the four-petaled flower is clearly visible behind the nape of the neck. On this class II, it seems that there is no ringlet under the lion, but only the dolphin (often outside the blank)

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.
