Lot 5:
Celtic World. Vindelici. AV Stater, 'Regenbogenschüsselchen' type, 2nd-1st century BC. Obv. Bird's head left within wreath. Rev. Star or cross; above, three pellets; below, two volutes. LT 9436; Flesche 305; Kellner type II E. 7.53 g. 17 mm. RR. Very rare. Well struck. Good VF/About EF. The defeat of the Gaulish tribe Vindelici at Vercellae against the Romans in 101 BC marked a significant event during the Roman expansion. This clash not only halted the advance of migrating tribes but also solidified Roman control over the region. The symbolic imagery depicted on artefacts from this period reflect the Vindelici's cultural identity and their acknowledgement, albeit reluctantly, of Roman authority. These historical events offer insights into the power dynamics and cultural interactions between the Vindelici and the Roman Republic during this era.
