Denarius

The Eravisci were a Celtic tribe settled in Pannonia, in the region around modern Budapest, whose coinage is a textbook case of provincial imitation: their denarii copy Roman Republican types so faithfully that misattribution was common among earlier cataloguers. The tribe likely gained access to Roman coin prototypes through trade along the Danube corridor, and the quality of the silverwork suggests a degree of craft specialization unusual for a non-Roman Danubian issuer of this period.

Attribution relies heavily on find-spot distribution, concentrated in the Buda hills.
