Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm (Atta Type) coin from West Noricum (Kingdom of Noricum) made of Silver weighing 9.72 g is interesting because it features a unique blend of Celtic and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Greek god Apollo playing a lyre. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred in the region during that time period.
