Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a rider on horseback, which is not commonly seen on coins from this time period. The rider is believed to represent the goddess Epona, who was revered by the Celts and was often depicted on horseback. This coin is a rare example of Celtic art and symbolism being used on a Roman coin, highlighting the cultural exchange and influence between the two civilizations during this time.
