[QUOTE="oldfinecollector, post: 4204360, member: 110740"]I follow as senior free auditor the course on archeology and Celtic art in Belgium The Royal Institute for Archeology and Art. Professor Eugène Warmenbol told us something very interesting, Celtic art even on coins have always at leat 2 interpretations and 2 designs different and it is the same surely for most Celtic coins. So it is quite unique in numismatic as that mean that in a normal way like on photos you have one representation and if with a photo software you trun the coin from 180 degrees you see an other design and both have a message different but for celts a meaning . The Roman had as opinion that celts were too creative and had cultural difficulties to understand how they can communicate so different ideas according to the position of a art piece or a coin. The Roman were logical and traditional in their style. Try to play with you Celtic coins in an other way or pint of view it is fascinating. Eugène Warmenbol is not a numismat but is very interested in Celtic coins and had great talk with JM Doyen.[/QUOTE]
