Commentary


Ce rare bronze avec le bige à droit est exceptionnel ; ce n’est qie le troisième que nous proposons après les deux exemplaires n° 1292 et 1293 de MONNAIES XV qui semblaiet alors complètement inédit. P. Schiesser a d’ailleurs publié le n° 1292 dans un Cahier de la Séna.
Cet exemplaire est bien homogène et complet avec la légende REMOvisible au droit, mais pas au revers.

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.
