EASTERN EUROPE, Imitations of Roman Republican(?). Uncertain Tribe. 1st century BC - 1st century AD. AR (18.5mm, 0.97 g). Devolved head(?) composed of radiating lines and pellets / Celticized horseman riding left, holding spear aloft; N below. Unpublished in the standard references. VF, toned.


The type appears to be unpublished, but the broad, thin flan and general style is reminiscent of imitations of Roman denarii found in the Taman peninsula. The Taman imiations, though, are of much higher weight.
