Comment
Cf. Dembski# 437Interesting fact
The Quinarius coin from Rauraci (Central European Gauls) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features the Roman goddess Victory, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic territories.
