Coin made by the Ambiani people.
The Ambiani were an ancient Celtic people who lived in the region that is now part of northern France, particularly around the modern-day city of Amiens. They were one of the many tribal groups living in Gaul before the Roman conquest. The Ambiani were known for their craftsmanship, particularly in metalworking, and their economy was significantly boosted by trade, thanks to their strategic location along important river routes. During Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars in the mid-1st century BC, the Ambiani were involved as one of the tribes of the Belgae, a group that Caesar described as the bravest of the Gaulish tribes. The Belgae were known for their fierce resistance against Roman expansion. After their defeat, the Ambiani were incorporated into the Roman Empire, and their territory became part of Roman Gaul, leading to Romanization in aspects such as culture, language, and architecture.
