Note:
(1) La moneta è stata verosimilmente
battuta in epoca antecedente alla dominazione romana
(cioè prima del 212 a. C.)
(2) La tipologia monetale di figura è
comune a serie monetali diverse battute tra il 317
a. C. ed il periodo romano (dopo il 212 a.C.); tra
loro si differenziano,oltre che per il peso, per
alcuni simboli accessori presenti nel dritto e/o nel
rovescio, come si desume agevolmente dagli esempi
sotto riportati:
