Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quinarius coin from Rauraci is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features the Roman goddess Victory, indicating the influence of Roman culture on the Gauls. This blending of styles reflects the complex cultural exchange that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Gaul.
