#FindsFriday #Celtic: `Under the influence of the Mediterranean civilizations, around the middle of the second century BC the Celts of the eastern Alpine region also began to mint their own coins. Two separate coinages can be distinguished: West Norican (Noric) and East Norican (Tauriscan). Both groups show a beardless male head with a laurel wreath ('head of Apollo') on the obverse, and a rider or horse on the reverse.`
