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 horse, which was a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features the Roman goddess Victory, indicating the influence of Roman culture on the Suessiones tribe. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Celtic and Roman civilizations.
