Commentary
Si le statère d’or de Philippe II de Macédoine a servi de prototype à de nombreuses imitations gauloises, le tétradrachme n’a pas été imité en Gaule, mais reste principal sujet d’inspiration des monnaies pour les Celtes du Danube (LT. 9697-9767, 9768-9832, 9618-9630, 9870-9886). Les premières imitations furent frappées dans le premier quart du IIIe siècle avant J.-C. La fabrication des copies serviles, puis des imitations, enfin des frappes celtiques continuèrent pendant plus de deux siècles.

The first imitations were struck in the first quarter of the 3rd century BC. The manufacture of servile copies, then imitations, and finally Celtic strikes continued for more than two centuries.

Historical background
MACEDONIA - MACEDONIAN KINGDOM - PHILIP II
(359-336 BC)
Philip of Macedon was the brother of Perdiccas III (365-359 AC.), both sons of Amyntas III (381-369 AC.). Their older brother Alexander II was assassinated by Ptolemy who received the regency for Perdiccas III and Philip II (369-365 AC.). Ptolemy was finally killed by Philip II in 365 BC while his brother died fighting the Illyrians six years later. Philip II began the conquest of the Greek world from 357 BC He was the indefatigable enemy of Athens and Demosthenes. He seized Amphipolis in 357 BC and took twenty years to conquer Greece. The victory of Chéronée crowned his work in 338 before J. - C. He was assassinated in 336 before J. - C., at the instigation of his first wife, Olympias, who was afraid to see her son Alexander, dispossessed of the throne of Macedonia after the birth of a boy from a second marriage.
