Commentary
Ce rare denier est à rapprocher des deniers ATEVLA VLATOS dont l'attribution aux Rèmes est sans doute à revoir. L'exemplaire du musée de Péronne montre la légende du droit presque complète, ce qui est très rarement le cas. Au revers, le cheval est en parade, comme sur les deniers NERCOD.
This rare denarius is similar to the ATEVLA VLATOS denarii, whose attribution to the Remi is probably in need of review. The copy in the Péronne Museum shows the legend on the obverse almost complete, which is very rarely the case. On the reverse, the horse is on parade, as on the NERCOD denarii

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.
