The earliest coinages were generally close copies of Hellenistic coins from the Mediterranean world, but gradually they developed a distinct visual language. Elements of the original prototypes were adapted or became disjointed; because these were combined with new elements, the resulting designs can be difficult to understand today. Different regions also followed different iconographical traditions, leading to a wide variety of designs. In a later phase, the arrival of Rome on the political stage led to the re-appearance of coinages with a classical look, particularly in Britain. In this lecture, David G. Wigg-Wolf, of Leicester University, will trace the iconography of Celtic coins, from its origin to its later development, and will interpret their visual language and sociopolitical role. David G. Wigg-Wolf was a senior researcher on the German Fundmünzen project in Frankfurt until 2009 and then a senior researcher at the Römisch-Germanische Kommission des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts until 2024. He now serves as honorary professor at Leicester University. His research interests include the production, circulation, and use of coinage in Western and Central Europe from the late pre-Roman Iron Age to the early medieval period, and digital numismatics.
