Chris Rudd, Celtic Specialist writes: “This is not a piece of ‘wheel money’ (rouelle) and not a votive wheel; its large size and protruding axle-hub make both of these uses seem unlikely. My guess is that it is one of four wheels from a small cult wagon of the sort found at Strettweg (Austria), Merida (Spain) and Dupljaja (Serbia). The asymmetrical spacing of the spokes indicates that this wheel is Celtic, not Roman.”
