| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and severely abstracted Celtic rendering of a helmeted head of Athena facing right, derived from a Macedonian Greek prototype. The crested Corinthian helmet is rendered in a bold, plastic manner typical of late La Tène Celtic die-cutting, with the facial features dissolved into sweeping curved relief lines across the field. The treatment reflects the progressive Celtic abstraction of the Hellenistic model, retaining the general form of the cranium and helmet crest while reducing individual anatomical detail to rhythmic linear motifs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Boii, a Celtic people whose territory spanned parts of modern Bohemia and the Po Valley, minted gold coinage heavily influenced by Macedonian prototypes — Philip II's staters filtered northward through trade and mercenary payment and were systematically abstracted over generations into increasingly stylized forms. The Alkidemos type sits well along that devolution curve.
By the second century BC, Boian political cohesion was fracturing under Roman military pressure. Their defeat at the Battle of Mutina in 194 BC preceded a mass migration northward across the Alps, and coinage from this terminal phase of Boian Cisalpine occupation is correspondingly difficult to attribute to specific sub-phases with confidence.
