Comment
Abstract type.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Durotrigan E coin is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which was a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized image of a Roman warship, which reflects the Roman influence on the Durotriges tribe during this period. This blending of cultural styles is a fascinating example of how different cultures can influence each other through trade and cultural exchange.
