RÈMES- Statère de bronze à l'œil

The Remi were among the Belgic tribes who submitted to Caesar relatively early — their cooperation during the Gallic Wars was notable enough that Caesar singled them out in his commentaries as consistently loyal allies. Whether that political alignment influenced continued minting activity after 51 BC, or whether this piece predates the final conquest, remains debated among specialists in Belgic coinage.

The "œil" type is distinguished within Remi bronze issues by a specific facial schematization traceable across a tight die grouping — its classification owes largely to the typological work of Scheers.
