Commentary
Sur ce potin, le cou est lisse et ne présente pas de traits parallèles comme sur la plupart des autres exemplaires. Au revers le sanglier est particulièrement net, avec une queue enroulée, mais pas en annelet. Exemplaire de poids lourd.
On this potin, the neck is smooth and does not have parallel lines like on most other examples. On the reverse, the boar is particularly clear, with a curled tail, but not a ringlet. A heavyweight example

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.
