Unsicher Kapostaler Type
Verfasst: Sa 07.11.15 13:41
Dear Board,
Please excuse my use of English but I'm looking for additional information on this coin. Originally, I thought it was from the Senones, c. 1st century BC. However, two knowledgeable numismatists suggested it is Danubian, and more specifically, Kapostaler type, from Hungary/Northern Serbia, c. late 3rd to 2nd century BC.
Would that mean that this was issued bu the Boii?
Any information is appreciated. I'm trying to develop a framework to explain why the forepart of a man-faced bull appears on a Celtic type, which is unheard of until now.
I cannot post a pic here because I do not understand the instructions (it would take me a sold hour or two to translate). Here is a link to the FAC board where I posted the image: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/ ... 641056#new
If a member here would be so kind as to post the pic on this forum for me, I would greatly appreciate it!
Best Regards,
Nick
