Signifiant ou signifié : le bestiaire sur les monnaies celtiques

The third edition of the numismatics courses offered at the Richelieu site focuses on the metallic bestiary. This session highlights the diversity and originality of Celtic coin iconography. The art of Celtic coinage, disliked by some as inferior to Greco-Roman creations but adored by the Surrealists, revels in the representation of animals. From the sacred to myth, from the imaginary to military propaganda, this course showcases the diversity and originality of Celtic coin iconography.
