Comment
This type is relatively rare compared to TOGIRIX, Q.DOCI SAM.F or other KALETEDOY! It is very rare to have the complete SEQVANOIOTVOS epigraphy, the blanks being systematically smaller in size than the corners.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 symbol of power and strength in Celtic culture, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a Roman goddess, likely Jupiter or Mars, reflecting the influence of Roman culture on the Sequani tribe during this period. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Celtic and Roman civilizations.
