The iconographical influences of Larissa-Apollo Amphipolis coin type on Dacian issues from Oltenia and Transylvania, between 2nd and 1st century BC

The iconographical elements represented on coins made in Celtic tradition are closely related to the religious life and with the power symbols. Those elements can be transmitted in time and space, from one community to another. Following the trail of Larissa-Apollo Amphipolis type symbols distribution, we determined that the impact was very ample. Coin types as: Aninoasa-Dobrești, Rădulești-Hunedoara, AiudCugir, Cladovo-Sachiz and Toc-Chereluș bear the mark of that Larissa-Apollo Amphipolis iconography. Symbolic elements have been from the Danube region to Transylvania.
