Historical informations

The DIKOI/RIKOI drachm is a Celtic coin attributed to the Celto-Ligurian peoples of Cisalpine Gaul, in northern Italy, and dated to the 2nd or early 1st century BC. Inspired by the Greek drachms of Massalia (Marseille), it features a stylised head of Artemis on the obverse and a lion with the inscription DIKOI on the reverse. These imitations reflect the influence of Mediterranean trade and Greek monetary models among the Celtic communities of the Po Valley. The precise meaning of the inscription and the attribution to a specific tribe remain uncertain.
