Bronze with lion in the name of Aulus Hirtius and Inecriturix

The Remi were among the more Romanized of the Belgic tribes by the mid-first century BC, having allied with Caesar during the Gallic Wars rather than joining the great revolt of 52 BC. The bilingual authority named on this issue — a Roman magistrate alongside a native name — reflects the administrative hybrid that Roman-allied Belgic territories briefly became in the decades immediately following the conquest.

Aulus Hirtius, Caesar's legate and continuator of the Bellum Gallicum, died at Mutina in 43 BC, which helps anchor the likely production window for issues bearing his name.
