Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Minim coin from the Atrebates and Regini tribes is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a stylized portrait of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style depiction of a horse and rider. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic Britain.
