Interesting fact
The Vindelici Stater is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek artistic styles, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between these two civilizations during the period. The coin's design includes a depiction of a Celtic warrior on horseback, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, which was a symbol of strength and power in Celtic culture. At the same time, the coin's obverse side features the image of a Greek goddess, likely Artemis or Athena, highlighting the cultural influence of the Mediterranean world on the Celts of Vindelici. This fusion of artistic styles makes the Vindelici Stater a fascinating example of cultural exchange and a valuable piece of history.
