Comment

It is surprising to find stylistic and iconographic similarities between the coins of this series (quarters and staters) and the series of staters attributed to the Cenomani (see link below).

Interesting fact

The ¼ Gold Stater coin from Treveri (Gallia Belgica) features an unusual design, depicting an anthropomorphic horse and winged figure, which sets it apart from other coins of its time.
