Commentary
Ces petits bronzes sont assez courants mais très diversifiés, avec des combinaisons d’avers et de revers dans les deux sens. Cet exemplaire avec un avers à droite et un revers à gauche est du type classique, cependant, il nous semble distinguer une pseudo légende devant le buste !.
These small bronzes are quite common but very diverse, with combinations of obverse and reverse in both directions. This example with an obverse on the right and a reverse on the left is of the classic type, however, we seem to distinguish a pseudo legend in front of the bust!

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.
