Abstract
Trial excavations in the imperial-period vicus of the Langacker area at Karlstein in the autumn of 1972 produced, besides Roman bronzes, a Celtic potin coin of Forrer type 171. Of the some sixty Celtic coins known from Karlstein it is the first from a secure stratigraphic context. The well preserved but poorly cast specimen shows a head facing left and, on the reverse, a bull with a so-called lily above it; the type is regarded as a Sequani imitation of a small bronze of Massalia. On the distribution map of Colbert de Beaulieu all 34 known find spots lie west of the Rhine, so that Karlstein falls well outside the otherwise closed picture.
