Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Arivos, while the reverse side features the name "Santono" in Latin, indicating the coin's origin from the Roman province of Gallia Celtica. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region during this time period, when the Roman Empire was expanding its influence across Europe and interacting with local Celtic tribes.
