Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dobunnic G Stater coin is that 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 a Roman-style depiction of a horse and rider. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Dobunni tribe, who were a Celtic people living in what is now modern-day England, but who were also influenced by the Roman Empire. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during this time period.
