<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 4280076, member: 75525&quot;]I picked up a small coin recently. Gallic denier, Rhone Valley; 75 – 51 BC. The coin is a bit outside of my collecting area. I am hoping someone here knows where I can find an on line link to the plates mentioned on the tag. I have found a set of the books, but I do not want to pay $100 for one of the 4 books in the set.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1089163[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1089165[/ATTACH]</p><p>CELTIC GAUL, Rhone Valley, Allobroges (others say Voconces, Southern Gaul, DVRNACOS &amp; Durnacos/Auscro), 75 – 51 BC.
