- Our opening exhibition for May 2021 is Celtic Treasure, featuring the stunning Kimbolton hoard of Iron Age stater coins. Join Curator Liz Davies, as she tells us more about the coins, their designs, and their significance to the people who buried them in the ground nearly 2,000years ago.

The coins are very beautiful! I love the abstract designs.
Thank you for your comment, we love them too. Did we say in the film that the British Museum expert said we had to think of them rather like Picasso and his abstract works? it wasn't that they couldn't produce designs like the Greeks and Romans it was that the abstract patterns had specific meaning for them, although these are now lost to us.
Very nice bit of Celtic history - very under appreciated how connected and influenced/influential these ancient cultures were on each other over vast distances 🪙
Thanks very much Paul, I completely agree that the amount of influence that spread across the miles is amazing. liz
Finding a Celtic coin would be a dream come true but so unlikely but you never know🙏🏻
Lovely item thanks 🙏 - and as a passionate detectorist, these Celtic Staters are my absol. #1 bucket-list coin. I find their abstract/naive art-style absolutely beguiling... 🥰😍
Merhaba bana iyi bir dedektör önerirmisin
Many thanks for an explanation of the different coins a brilliant video, thankyou
Great found of coins. The celtic coins are stunning, looking like abstract art from today.
I especially love how they abstracted the Macedonian coin images.
Now, that was fun to watch! Would love to find one of those staters! 👌
Really nice coins, I didn't know ancient Celtic coins had been found, I hope to see them soon. Thanks for your nice video.
Thank you for your appreciation, they hoard shows that our area has been a relatively wealthy place for over 2,000 years, amazing!
Very informative, thank you.
Very lovely video *thumbsup*
Well done.
Beautiful coins
Absolutely wonderful!
One thing that I have noted of most/many Celtic cache's/hoards is that the condition of the Gold pieces are (almost) "always" in remarkable mint state as though minted and immediately stashed away, with some being lost to time, for our enjoyment. 🙂 To the gods was the purpose of the currency?
I was lucky to find one celtic gold stater with my metal detector. It is officially known as a wadden chase type gold stater.

I fear the narrator's speculations on Celtic coinage as a mirror of the Graeco-Roman Pantheon are hers alone.
Aah... Buried but not forgotten til death they all depart.
I have no idea where in England St. Neoc’s is located, how about informing us?
St. Neots is about 12km south-east of Kimbolton😇
والله عندي كمي من هدا العمله
It doesn’t make sense that these should bear the initials of a Roman toponym, if they were minted before the Roman invasion. Could the Roman name have been adopted from the preceding Celtic one?
Yes, the clue's in the difference between the early Roman name, Camulodunum, and the modern name, Colchester. The "dunum" and "chester" elements mean the same, a fortified place, but the latter is from Latin whereas the former is borrowed from Celtic (as still seen in Scottish and Irish names like Dunfermline and Dundalk).
مرحبا ..شكرا على الفيديو .قطع نقدية رائعة .تحية لكي من COLLO CITY ALGERIA
it's a revelation to see how Iron Age Celtic settlements were organised, and held and maintained their community using trade and livestock with the Romans and other Germanic tribes. Maybe, we over-value Roman civilisation in Britain.
real people live in B.C , A.D. land ..
😅🤩
الي عوز عمله نفس ده عندي عمله اصليه يكلمني
These are prehistoric coins, because history begins with scripture. All North Italy had settlement of celtic tribes. My city is named Bologna because here there was the celtic tribe of "Boi" till it was conquered by romans. The histroy of Britannia begins with the roman conquest too. The celtic tribe of Boi was settled also in Bohemia and around the lake Balaton.
Be fruitful and Multiply/ Said GOD the Father, we in the West have not seeded that Path, Now the West, who have not been Fruitful by not Multiplying Expect to be Fruitful. The long and hard road from The Father, their Road Against the Father, It will be given or taken from others. Those who will be fruitful and Multiply as the Father Decreed are the Humbled. Those who go against the Be fruitful and Multiply are the Messengers of Death and not for GOD Creations to be Fruitful and Multiply.
bunkum
Very interesting...but gosh that music is annoying
Saying the coins were not used as currency seems like utter rubbish. The wealthy could have easily passed such coins between each other. They buried gold torcs, the Celts had a lot of wealth in general, many mines. That is why the Romans wanted to conquer them.
It would be a pseudo-currency situation like the old US $10,000 bill- you couldn't find a trader who would give you change for one
@@marksnow7569 Not at all.
@@marksnow7569 Debased fiat currency is not the same as a pure physical asset.
@@marksnow7569 Most people didn't have change for 10,000 that was a lot of money back then.
@@marksnow7569 Those coins were more common than you think, and were circulated.
I doubt they made them to give away to god's.
hhahaha Philip Macedonian greek king
PLEASE STOP USING THE SECULARIZED METHOD OF DATING. I reject any English speaker who uses BCE (Before Common Era) instead of the proper B.C. meaning Before Christ. The same goes for CE (Common Era) which non-Christians in recent times have substituted for the Latin A.D. meaning Anno Domini, "In the Year of our Lord" referring to after the birth of Christ.
Jesus Christ was and is a REAL HISTORIC PERSON and there is plenty of historical evidence that He was on Earth more than 2,000 years ago. ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, or you lose all credibility.
The music masks the Curator's talking.
Very annoying.
Well my grandpa came from Sweden so I believe that all the people of this bloodline went to Iceland ! My family I guess didn’t but every time I go there I feel I’m home ! I’ve never felt like that before in other places I have been to ! Who knows maybe I do have some relatives their in Iceland ! In fact I married a man from there + we broke up then got back together to give up on eachother again ! He desired other women which I put up with but it was very hard for me but he is going back home to Iceland without me which for some reason makes me very sad ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹☮️👽🪐🛸🚀👻🥰😘😍💖I also believe in ghost because I saw them at the foot of my bed + my mom said they were my guardian angels !
