| Additional information |
The Eravisci were a Celtic tribe settled in Pannonia, in the region of modern-day Budapest, who produced a series of silver denarii closely imitating contemporary Roman republican types. Their coinage is remarkable less for originality than for precision — the copies are competent enough that misattribution to Roman mints remained common in older catalogues. The tribe likely gained access to Roman coin models through trade along the Danube frontier, and the imitations served local exchange before Roman provincial administration absorbed the region under Augustus.
CCCBM S247 falls within a well-documented group of Eraviscian issues struck from locally sourced silver.
