CELTIC COINSThe Celts included several groups of Iron Age tribal people occupying much of northern Europe, Spain, Gaul and the British Isles. They were very late to issue coins, probably having no need for coins until contact with southern Europeans and their trade goods created a need for them. With no domestic coinage of their own, the early Celtic coins often imitated Greek coins of the people they traded with, especially Macedonian coins of Philip II, Alexander the Great and Philip III, but gradually modifying signs to suit Celtic artistic tastes. Over time the origins of the designs become almost unrecogizable and the coins become almost purely Celtic. BRITISH CELTICFRENCH (GAUL) CELTICThe Volcae Tectosages were a people from the Eastern Danubian region who some time prior to 300 BC settled around Carscassonne in South West Gaul. DANUBIAN CELTICThe Danubian Celts occupied the area around the Danube River which separated ancient Thrace and Dacia. Much of their coinage was inspired by that of Alexander the Great and his successors, probably minted in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. Later, during the late 2nd and 1st century BC, they also imitated the issues of Thrace and Macedonia. PANNONIAN, CELTIC |
