Celts, Hercuniates, Middle Danube, Imitative Philip II of Macedonia, "Kapostal" Type, c. 2nd Century B.C.
|Celtic| |&| |Tribal|, |Celts,| |Hercuniates,| |Middle| |Danube,| |Imitative| |Philip| |II| |of| |Macedonia,| |"Kapostal"| |Type,| |c.| |2nd| |Century| |B.C.|, The Hercuniates were a minor Celtic tribe located, by the middle of the first century B.C., in a narrow territory on the western side and close to the Danube a little west of modern Budapest. Their neighbors to the north were the Illyrian Azari and Dacian Carpi, to the east the Eravisci, to the south Illyrian tribes, and to the west a pocket of the Boii alongside the Taurisci. Pliny and Ptolemy refer to the Hercuniates as a civitas peregrina, a wandering tribe that had travelled to Pannonia from foreign parts, most probably following the Danube from the west, skirting the vast Hercynia silva, the forest from which they seem to have gained their name. Three Hercuniates' oppida sites have been identified, all in the Lake Balaton region. They issued their own coins by the second century B.C., but little else is known of them. They were subdued by Rome sometime between 20 B.C. and 40 A.D. Perhaps they peacefully allied with Rome but the events were not recorded.
