| Additional information |
The Eravisci were a Celtic tribe settled in Pannonia, in the region of modern Budapest, whose coinage is a rare example of a non-Roman people deliberately imitating Roman Republican denarii with enough precision to suggest direct access to Roman prototypes — possibly through trade along the Danube corridor or military contact. Their silver issues are so faithful to Roman types that early scholars misattributed several specimens to Roman provincial mints entirely.
The tribe submitted to Roman authority under Augustus, and coinage production almost certainly ceased with formal incorporation into the province of Pannonia.
