Story

Dated: early 3rd century BCE

Celtic culture was dynamic and far-reaching in the 3rd century BCE.  They spread from modern-day Spain to Syria and Great Britain, and along the Danube. 
The Celts adopted Greek and Roman coins for trade and wealth accumulation. Over time, the engravings on these coins began to reflect Celtic artistic styles, symbolism, and worldview, departing from traditional Greek and Roman designs.
Horses were symbols of power, the sun, and the warrior elite. Similarly, images of the heads of Hercules and Zeus symbolized protection or the soul.
