Summary

edit
Description The staters (coins) bearing the head of Vercingetorix, give him a very Hellenistic profile, which is probably more a convention than a realistic impression. He has large curls and a double strand of hair coming down at the back of his neck. The nose is long and straight with large nostrils, and his lips are narrow and fleshy.
