Celtic coinage in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC NEW EDITION 2019

The publication deals with Celtic coinage in Bohemia during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. Within this book, a total of 715 coins were collected, which were cataloged in typological overviews and, in the case of imported mintings, in the catalog of finds from the Czech territory. The work presents a completely new view of the beginnings and older phase of coinage in the Czech territory, taking into account the situation in the area of the Amber Trail corridor, ie in the regions between Silesia and the Austrian Danube. Part of this monograph is also a comprehensive processing of stators of the Nike type, which represent the oldest type of Celtic coins in Central Europe, whose origin can also be traced to the Czech territory. The comprehensive elaboration of the topic proved the existence of at least 50 series and types of coins produced in the area of the Czech Basin and indicating a considerable internal differentiation of the Celtic communities settled in this area.
