Interesting fact

The ¼ Quinarius coin from the Kingdom of Noricum was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and economic exchange between the Roman Empire and the Celts. The coin's design features a stylized head of a Celtic deity on one side and a horse on the other, symbolizing the blending of Roman and Celtic cultures.
