Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Hercuniates was used as a form of currency in the 1st century BC, and its design features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Greek goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Hercuniates, who were a Celtic tribe that lived in what is now modern-day Hungary and were influenced by Greek culture.
