Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Bronze VERCA coin from Arverni (Gallia Celtica) is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style eagle, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories.
