Excerpt from A Vindication of the Celtic Inscriptions on Gaulish and British Coins
A great object being to secure inquirers on these topics from errors, the caution given in the Celtic Inscriptions, on the head of forgery, may, with advantage, be referred to here. It has been known of late years, that surmises on the new reading of a type, though only, perhaps, ventilated in some journal or periodical, have taken shortly afterwards a more solid form, and that coins conformably inscribed, have been on sale a few months afterwards. Also, I have known a coin to appear, the legend of which bore evidence of being mainly formed from a fac-simile which I myself had published.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contributes to a century of scholarship dedicated to unlocking the secrets of Celtic culture through numismatic study. The book's author, an expert in ancient British coins, presents a groundbreaking new reading of inscriptions found on coins minted by ancient Celtic leaders in Britain. The author contends that these coins bear inscriptions in Celtic languages, introducing an entirely new source of primary source material on the lives of Celtic rulers and the history of pre-Roman and Roman Britain. This discovery transforms our understanding of life in ancient Britain, challenging the notion that the Celts, at the time of the Roman invasion, were a pre-literate society.
