Bronze with boar, twig and horse

The Ambiani occupied the territory around modern Amiens in northern Gaul and were among the tribes Julius Caesar engaged during his campaigns of 57–51 BC. Their bronze coinage was likely struck under intense pressure during this period — Caesar's account in the Gallic Wars names the Ambiani specifically among the Belgic tribes who submitted after the Battle of the Axona. Whether these bronzes circulated as functional currency or served a more immediate military function within tribal economies remains debated.

DT 462 is attributed to the later phase of Ambiani bronze production, placing it squarely within the disruption of conquest.
