Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Stater VOCARANT coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse side features the name "VOCARANT" in Latin letters, indicating the coin's Roman provenance. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Remi tribe, who were a Celtic people living in what is now modern-day Belgium and were influenced by their Roman conquerors.
