Story
Dated: early 3rd century BC
In ancient times the Celts ranged from Spain to the Danube and as far south-east as modern Syria. They adopted Greek coinage as a means for making payments and accumulating wealth.
The most common ancient Celtic coins are copies of the Philip II tetradrachm. This coin is an early copy of the Philip II coinage and is a close representation of the original.
