Interesting fact

The Denarius coin from the City of Bolskan (Suessetani people) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Roman and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Roman goddess, likely Jupiter or Mars, while the reverse side features a Celtic warrior with a shield and spear. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Roman Republic period.
