The Denarius coin from Arsaos (Vascones people) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a horse and rider, which is not commonly found on coins from this region. This suggests that the coin may have been influenced by Greek or Roman artistic styles, highlighting the cultural exchange and diversity of the ancient world.
