Interesting fact
The ¼ Stater coin from Coriosolites (Gallia Armorica) was used as a form of currency during the 1st century BC, and its design features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which was a symbol of strength and power in Celtic culture, while the reverse side features a stylized wheel, which was a common motif in Roman coinage. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, where Celtic tribes interacted and traded with Roman settlers.
