Pisidian Tribes (Pisidic, Galatian, or Celtic?), Imitative of Selge, Pisidia, c. 350 - 190 B.C.
|Pisidia|, |Pisidian| |Tribes| |(Pisidic,| |Galatian,| |or| |Celtic?),| |Imitative| |of| |Selge,| |Pisidia,| |c.| |350| |-| |190| |B.C.|, This coin is a barbaric tribal imitative of a similar type struck by Selge. Selge was a fortress-like Greek colony on the southern slope of Mount Taurus in Pisidia, a wild frontier inhabited by warlike tribes, pirates, and bandits. Herodotus called the indigenous Pisidic people "Lakuna" but this was just one of many Pisidic tribes. The Hellenistic kings were never able to govern these indigenous people or the invading Galatian and Celtic new arrivals. In 39 B.C. Marc Antony entrusted Pisidia to the Galatian client king Amyntas and charged him with putting down the bandit Homonadesians, who threatened the roads connecting Pisidia to Pamphylia. After Amyntas was killed in the struggle in 25 B.C., Rome made Pisidia part of the new province of Galatia. The Homonadesians were finally wiped out in 3 B.C.
