Celtic, imitating Phillip II of Macedonia, tetradrachm (“sattelkopfpferd” type)
Obverse: Stylized head of Zeus right
Reverse: Stylized horse and rider left
Mint: 2th century BC
The Celts possessed a vibrant culture and impressed the Greeks & Romans with their bold dress and powerful appearance. Celtic women wore intricate braiding style for their hair and wore colorful dresses. The Celtic men spiked their hair, bleached it to a white color, and wore long beards. The Greeks described the Celts of Eastern Europe as "tall," and often with blonde hair, although not naturally. Both sexes rinsed their hair in lime water, which bleached it, then pulled it back in braids or ties, often while wet. Women also piled their braids or coils on top of their heads. Men were clean-shaven except for mustaches, literally a 3500 year old or so Celtic tradition.
