Commentary
La particularité de cette variété est d'avoir un animal tout à fait différent des exemplaires précédents ; il ferait penser à un ruminant (cerf ou élan), comparable à celui du potin LT. 8143. Sur cet exemplaire, le torque du droit semble être remplacé par un annelet parfaitement circulaire.
The particularity of this variety is to have an animal completely different from the previous examples; it would bring to mind a ruminant (deer or elk), comparable to that of the LT potin. 8143. On this example, the right torque seems to be replaced by a perfectly circular ring

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.
