Show more >Abstract : The horse is an emblematic animal, omnipresent in Celtic culture. Primary or secondary actor in mythology, consumed in certain sanctuaries, symbol of power for the elites, comrade in arms on the battlefield, the horse is also represented on many Celtic coins, fully occupying the reverse. Numismatists, archaeologists and art historians have been compiling and studying these witnesses of a narrative system that has not surrendered all its secrets. Lancelot Lengyel was one of the first to get interested in these matters. His approach was that of a surrealist, looking for the symbolism behind the images, and the message carried by them. He published a remarkable, but little known book in 1969, somewhat clumsily entitled “The Secret of the Celts”, a work in which he approaches the images on the coins through a structuralist analysis. We propose here a brief study of coinage of the Remi, based on this exceptional piece of scholarship, with the aim to unveil some of Lengyel’s ideas and theories.Show less >
