Commentary
Bronze exceptionnel avec le bige du revers qui est à droite au lieu d'être tourné à gauche. Le n° 1293 de MONNAIES XV semblait être issu du même coin de revers.
Ce bronze est illustré dans l’article de P. Schiesser dans les Cahiers de la Séna, photo 1..
Exceptional bronze with the bige of the reverse which is on the right instead of being turned to the left. No. 1293 of MONNAIES XV seemed to come from the same reverse die. This bronze is illustrated in the article by P. Schiesser in the Cahiers de la Séna, photo 1.

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.
