[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 7809395, member: 91461"]I've always been a fan of the underdog. Which is probably why I'm drawn to barbarous and Celtic coins. Coins from the peoples that history doesn't let us know much about from their perspectives. Here, I picked up a fun little snack thinking once it was in hand I'd have an easier time figuring out what the reverse was was. I figured it was probably a walking victory. But now that it's in hand it looks kinda like a guy with a horse? Their description: Barbarous AE Coins. 5th century AD. Condition:Very fine Weight: 1.1 gr Diameter: 13 mm [ATTACH=full]1341372[/ATTACH] My Pic [ATTACH=full]1341373[/ATTACH] Theirs (it was backwards with the head upside down) [MEDIA=youtube]PiZHNw1MtzI[/MEDIA] Any ideas of if this is an imitative, what's the reverse supposed to be and who this is an imitative of?[/QUOTE]
