[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 7307929, member: 96635"]Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but they are Hellenized Celts. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SBgUIrS.jpg[/IMG] [B]Kings of Galatia. Amyntas. AE Bronze. 39-25 BC. Obverse:[/B] Head of bearded Herakles to right with club over his shoulder; behind E, C.

Note: When thinking of Barbarians, in modern times most people will think about uncultured Celts or Gauls, but in Ancient times a Barbarian is anyone not part of the Greco-Roman civilization, so it also includes Persians, Egyptians, and Phoenicians, which were quite sophisticated for their time as well.

So in other words, next is a coin from Hellenized non-Greeks aka 'Barbarians' :D.[/QUOTE]
