Interesting fact
The ½ Gold Stater (uniface) from Durocasses (Gallia Armorica) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great cultural and political change in the region. The coin's production coincided with the expansion of the Roman Empire into Gaul, which led to the eventual absorption of the Durocasses tribe into the Roman state. This coin may have been used as a form of currency during this period of transition, representing the blending of cultures and the emergence of new economic systems.
