Ian Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 a silver drachm `a la tete cubiste' (circa 100 bc) of the Volques Tectosages, a celtic tribe inhabiting the Toulouse region of France. Not a brilliant example, but it is in both an affordable and nice collectable condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'd certainly like to learn more about ancient coins from Gaul/France. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 a silver drachm `a la tete cubiste' (circa 100 bc) of the Volques Tectosages ... Curious and interesting! Have you tried viewing it obliquely, as suggested by Geraldine Chimirri-Russell? Does the "obverse" in particular become anything else?

No matter which `perspective' viewed from, there's no readily apparent portrait.....or anything else that is immediately discernable Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
