Commentary
Sur les exemplaire de la classe Ia, le droit est caractéristique avec son visage relativement naturaliste, avec ses trois mèches et son bandeau plein orné d’une ligne ondulée en creux qui ne se retrouve que sur la classe Id1 et sur le “type de Tremblois” (classe Ip).
On the class Ia specimens, the right is characteristic with its relatively naturalistic face, with its three locks of hair and its full headband decorated with a hollow wavy line which is only found on class Id1 and on the “Tremblois type” (class Ip)

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.
