Commentary
Sur ce potin, l’astre entre les pattes n’est pas visible, mais celui au-dessus de la tête est bien venu et semble être pointé. Tous les exemplaires de la classe I semblent être issus de moules orientés 9 heures, avec les jets de coulée dans l’axe vertical du droit.
On this potin, the star between the legs is not visible, but the one above the head is indeed present and seems to be pointed. All examples of class I seem to come from molds oriented 9 o'clock, with the casting jets in the vertical axis of the right

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.
