Stannard, Evidence 26-7 = Stannard, Parallels 99-100; Minturnae 34-5
Found in Southern Spain
This type is found both in Baetica and in central Italy, at Minturnae, demonstrating the close economic ties between the two areas. Stannard notes numerous parallels in the lead tokens and unofficial bronze coinage in the two areas. He also sees a stylistic difference between issues of the two regions, but I have not personally seen enough specimens from both regions to say.Ardatirion
