[QUOTE="NewStyleKing, post: 5123936, member: 106483"]The saviour coins of Thasos and Maroneia were produced close to Celtic occupied lands who people loved them. The Romans then ordered them to be copied and produced in huge numbers for payments or bribes to Celtic mercenaries especially the Thasos type. The quality of reproduction became less and less-some of the above look like copies. As the Danubian regions accumulated these coins the locals started producing their own copies which rapidly had a style of its own and became more and more outlandish & fantastic. Reid Goldsborough wrote about these. The provenance of most of these coins are from hoards found in modern day Bulgaria and Romania,often mixed with Aesillas and Athens NewStyles and others like Dyrrachium and Apollonia drachms. Propakov and Paunov are the authors who write about the hoards and chronology.[/QUOTE]
