| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized horse depicted in motion, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic style typical of Ambiani bronze coinage of the late La Tène period. The horse's body is composed of flowing curvilinear lines, with limbs suggested by sweeping strokes rather than naturalistic anatomy. Subsidiary symbols or pellets may appear in the field around the horse, though the heavy patination renders precise identification difficult. No legend is present. The design closely follows the established typology of the so-called 'Type of Chilly' bronzes attributed to the Ambiani tribe of Belgic Gaul. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Ambiani occupied the territory around modern Amiens in northern Gaul and were among the tribes Caesar engaged during his campaigns of 57 BC, when Roman forces pushed into Belgic territory. Whether this piece predates that contact or circulated through the disruption of conquest is difficult to fix precisely within the twenty-year window assigned to the type. DT 366A sits in a contested attribution zone — several closely related bronze types from this region have been reassigned between tribes as metal-detector finds from northern France have accumulated over the past three decades.
