Commentary


Ce bronze semble s’intégrer dans la série 53 des “Types divers et composites”... Si le droit est difficile à interpréter, le revers semble clairement inspiré du bronze précédent du type de Chilly !
Il est intéressant de noter la présence d’un motif tournoyant entre les jambes du cheval comme sur la drachme prototype (cf. CV55, n° 535).

Historical background


AMBIANI (Area of Amiens)

(2nd - 1st century BC)

Their name, "those who are on both sides of the river", indicates that the Ambiens, people of Belgian Gaul, occupied both banks of the Somme (Samara). Their territory corresponds to the current department of the Somme. Their neighbors were the Calètes, the Morins, the Atrébates, the Bellovaques. Their main oppidum was Samarobriva (near Amiens). They participated in the coalition of the Belgian peoples in 57 BC and provided a contingent of ten thousand men. In 52 BC, it was a contingent of five thousand men that they gave for the relief army dedicated to clearing Alesia. Caesar (BG. II, 4, 15; VII, 75; VIII, 7). Strabo (G. IV, 5). Kruta: 68, 110, 366.
