<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3261777, member: 97383&quot;]Finn235, Your question is a good one &amp; there may be no definitive answer. One thing is for sure, when the Vandals, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, &amp; Huns crossed the Rhine River they pushed the Celtic tribes as far west as possible (the French shore &amp; Britannia). These invading Germanic tribes quickly adapted to Roman ways &amp; unlike the Celtic tribes even accepted their own versions of Christianity. The German tribes made excellent imitations of Roman coins in circulation &amp; their money passed freely as Roman money. There certainly were remnants of Celtic tribes that remained behind but their money in Celtic style only had value within their own tribes. The new German money gradually supplanted the Celtic money. Attached below is a German gold solidus I acquired about a year ago struck in the name of Emperor Zeno, late 5th - early 6th century, 4.48 gm.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]858119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
