<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 580325, member: 8959&quot;]Thank you all, i am glad you find these Celtics interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like most of you, Celtic coinage (and their history as well) is an area i had not paid much attention to, if at all.&nbsp; However, just recently I realized that one of their major Oppida (Celtic settlements) is located not 30 minutes from where I live, and this piqued my interest.&nbsp; Unlike the Germanic tribes and the Romans, the Celts in what is now Germany had a penchant for building their settlements on densely wooded hill-tops surrounded by earth, stone and wood entrenchments. This lends their settlements a certain misterious aura. </p><p>I can see now this will not be the last Celtics coins i buy!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ahearn, i don&#039;t know how scarce they are, but they are certainly less plentiful than Roman coinage. Also, Celtic coinage from other European areas may well be more plentiful than</p><p>those from Germany for example. The bird-man for example seems to be quite scarce.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Brian, thanks for showing us your Durotriges Stater. I had missed that. I is really a beautiful coin! and from a find no less.&nbsp; Very nice. I have heard of Chris Rudd as an expert on this coins, and may yet contact him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
