Gaul, Massalia Obol 200-121 BC. 4 spoked wheel w. M/A in quadrants (No reserve price)
The Obol from Massalia (modern Marseille) in Gaul, dating between 200-121 B.C., features a distinctive four-spoked wheel with the initials M/A in the quadrants. Massalia was a vital Greek trading colony and cultural hub on the Mediterranean coast, and its coinage reflects a fusion of Greek artistic styles and local Gallic influences. The spoked wheel is a recurring motif symbolic of movement and prosperity. These coins are instrumental in understanding early trade networks in Western Europe and the spread of Greek cultural elements through Celtic territories.
