| Reversbeschreibung | A lion passant advancing to the right, depicted in a stylised Celtic manner with exaggerated musculature, arched back, and a prominently curved tail. Below the lion, schematic ground-line ornaments or pellets are visible, a common decorative device on Belgic bronze coinage. The legend A HIR IMP appears in the field, referencing Aulus Hirtius, the Roman proconsul of Gallia Belgica, in whose name this issue was struck. The composition fills the irregular flan with characteristic Gallo-Roman provincial energy. The casting seams and surface porosity are consistent with the sand-cast or clay-mould technique employed by the Remi. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Remi were among the most Romanized of the Belgic tribes by the mid-first century BC, a posture that bought them relative stability during Caesar's Gallic campaigns — they effectively sided with Rome early and suffered far less than their neighbors. The inscription referencing Aulus Hirtius places this issue in a politically charged moment: Hirtius was Caesar's legate, later consul in 43 BC, and died at Mutina fighting Mark Antony. His name appearing on a Belgic bronze suggests either a direct administrative relationship or a client-patron arrangement the tribe was advertising in metal.
Small bronzes of this type circulated heavily in the Marne valley region and survive predominantly in poor condition.
