Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side features a stylized portrait of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a Roman goddess, likely Jupiter or Mars. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time, as the Celts of Eravisci were under Roman rule during this period.
