Beschrijving voorzijde Stylized head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the distinctly abstracted Celtic artistic tradition derived from Hellenistic prototypes. The hair is elaborately rendered in flowing, swirling locks radiating outward from the crown, executed with deeply incised, lyre-shaped strands characteristic of Aquitanian Celtic coinage. The facial features are schematically modeled, with a pronounced brow, almond-shaped eye, and subtly defined nose and chin visible in profile. The neck is broad and the overall relief is bold, filling the irregular flan. No legend or inscription appears in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

The Aquitani occupied the southwestern corner of Gaul, between the Pyrenees and the Garonne, and were ethnically and linguistically distinct from the Celtic tribes further north — closer to the proto-Basque population than to the Belgae or Arverni. Their coinage developed under the dual pressure of Mediterranean commercial contact through Narbo and the disruptive northward spread of Roman military campaigning after 125 BC. DT 3635 sits within a cluster of issues whose attribution to specific tribal groups remains unresolved; the boar motif appears across multiple mints in the region, making die-linkage the only reliable tool for narrowing provenance.
