Tétradrachme intéressant d’un type rare dont la plupart des exemplaires sont issus des mêmes coins de droit et de revers. Mêmes coins que le n° 1973 de la vente Cahn 81 d’avril 1933, que les exemplaires 369 et 370 de la collection Tranpitsh et que le n° 28 de la vente Monnaies et Médaille 20 à Bâle..
Historical background
DANUBIAN CELTS - NORICUM - NORICI
(2nd-1st century BC)
According to the work of W. Kruta, we can affirm that the kingdom of Noricum was constituted during the middle of the 2nd century BC, in the territory of present-day Carinthia. Together with the Boii of Pannonia and the Taurisci they certainly formed a powerful kingdom, northeast of Italy and were one of the main Celtic formations on the outskirts of the Alps. This entity experienced its greatest expansion in the 1st century BC and extended to the Danube on the eastern part of the Alps. The conquest undertaken by Augustus was not completed until Tiberius and Drusus.
