Quinarius Manching type group C

The Manching type quinarii take their name from the oppidum at Manching, near modern Ingolstadt, which served as one of the largest Celtic settlements north of the Alps before its violent destruction — likely during Roman campaigns in the late 1st century BC. Type group C sits within a typological sequence reconstructed almost entirely from hoard evidence, as controlled excavation at Manching yielded coins but rarely the stratigraphic precision needed to anchor them firmly. Kostial's classification remains the working standard, though the groupings are stylistic rather than mint-documentary.
