Comment
Imitations of Roman Republican Denarius of Albinus Bruti F. Cf. Crawford 450/1a (for prototype); cf. CRI 25 (same).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Roman goddess Roma, while the reverse (back) side features a characteristic Celtic motif of a stylized animal, in this case, a horse. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Roman Empire and the Celts during this time period.
