From their new bases in northern Illyria and Pannonia, the Gallic invasions climaxed in the early 3rd century BC, with the invasion of Greece. The 279 BC invasion of Greece proper was preceded by a series of other military campaigns waged toward the southern Balkans and against the kingdom of Macedonia.
A part of the invasion crossed over to Anatolia and eventually settled in the area that came to be named after them, Galatia.

Celtic imitation of Macedonian issue from 185-168 BC. Overstrike of Thessalonica, 187-31 BC, head of Dionysos with ivy wreath right, goat standing right, ΘEΣΣA_ΛO / N_IK_HΣ, (NE) / ? other monograms, Sear #1466; BMC Macedonia p. 110, 10 - 16. Head of goat and one ivy-leaf under Strymon's head are slightly visible. Imitations from Serdi region weren't used to fool Macedonian traders but as their own currency. This coin is one of overstrikes on official Macedonian coins which prooves this theory.
