Denier with lyre

Descrizione del dritto	Stylized Celtic head facing right, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is arranged in five distinct locks with characteristically curled or voluted ends, fanning outward from the crown. Facial features are summarily depicted, with the eye, nose, and jaw rendered in bold, abstracted relief typical of Aeduan coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no legend or inscription in the field.

Informazioni aggiuntive	The Aedui occupied a strategically dominant position in central Gaul, controlling key trade routes through the Saône and Loire valleys, and held the unusual distinction of being formally recognized as "brothers and kinsmen of the Roman people" — a treaty relationship that gave them nominal Roman protection without Roman governance. That status collapsed spectacularly when the tribe split between pro-Roman and anti-Caesar factions during the Gallic Wars, with the Aeduan chieftain Vercingetorix ultimately drawing their warriors into the great revolt of 52 BC. Coins of this type were almost certainly still in circulation at Alesia.
