Interesting fact
The Boii Stater, minted in the 2nd century BC, features an image of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory) on its obverse side, which is quite fascinating given that Nike was not typically associated with the Boii tribe. This suggests that the Boii people may have had cultural exchange or influence from Greek cities in the region.
