NGC Celtic Tribes in Ancient Gaul Quinarius Silver LG

NGC Lower Grade Celtic Tribes in Ancient Gaul Quinarius Silver. Over an eight-year period starting in 58 BC, Roman general Julius Caesar conducted a military campaign against the tribes of Gaul. In the Gallic Wars, Celtic, Germanic, and Britonic groups resisted Roman expansion to defend their territories. The potential for a united resistance against Rome existed, which could have altered history by thwarting Caesar.

However, internal divisions among the tribes hindered a cohesive front, allowing Caesar to manipulate them. By the time Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix sought unity, it proved too late, and Gaul succumbed to Roman rule. The featured coin is an authentic silver Celtic quinarius from the first century BC, displaying a Celtic rendition of the goddess Roma on the obverse-common on Roman coins of the period-and a stylized horse on the reverse.
