Quinarius Nauheimer Type

Beschrijving voorzijde	Stylized beardless head facing right, rendered in a highly abstracted La Tène artistic style. The hair is depicted as a series of deeply incised spiral and scroll motifs filling much of the field, typical of late Celtic coinage. A beaded necklace or torque is indicated at the neck. The flan is bordered by a ring of raised pellets forming a beaded rim. The facial features, including a schematic eye rendered as a small pellet, are reduced to minimal but recognizable elements consistent with the Nauheimer type tradition.

Aanvullende informatie	The Vangiones occupied the middle Rhine region, roughly centered on what is now Worms, and are attested by Caesar as one of the Germanic peoples invited into Gaul by the Sequani during the rivalry with the Arverni. Whether that makes them "Germanic" or Celticized is a dispute that has not been settled. Their coinage belongs to the Nauheimer type — a reduced silver quinarius class named after the hoard found at Bad Nauheim in Hesse — whose distribution maps almost exactly onto the densely contested zone between Caesar's campaigns and the Rhine frontier consolidation of the late 1st century BC.
