How do you tell the difference between a tessera and a spintria?

Spintria is the name that has given to the "Tessera" of bronze with erotic subject.
It was the ticket  that gave law to a "performance" in the "postribulum".

In the D/  is written perhaps the price of the performance. .in this case VI.. perhaps VI sestertii?

LB
This spintria in the obverse has an erotic subject. Yesterday I have not been able to insert his photo in the forum. .Today I retry.

The system tells me:
"The upload folder is full. Please try to smaller lines and contact the administrator."

The photo has reduced to 75 Kb
I don't know thing do.....

The countryside around Rome and Napoli, as well as the island of Capri, are filled with ancient coins. ::)  Just dig and you will find one. ;)

Ave!

Am I not the only one here who would jump at the chance to further clean just a few of Rug's coins?
