Commentary
Ce type monétaire a été repris sur un potin attribué aux Bituriges (?) ; le droit en est la copie conforme tandis que le revers présente un cheval proche par le style des potins suessions, mais avec un cavalier qui tient un bouclier sur les rares exemplaires de qualité et identifiables (cf. 24.5, Zurich n° 275).
This monetary type was taken from a potin attributed to the Bituriges (?); the obverse is an exact copy while the reverse shows a horse similar in style to the Suessiones potins, but with a rider holding a shield on the rare high-quality and identifiable examples (cf. 24.5, Zurich no. 275)

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.
