(1)Raccolgo in tabella le caratteristiche fisiche degli assi della tipologia di figura presenti nei link di cui sopra e nel data base dell'ANS (American Numismatic Society):

Come si evince dalla tabella, le caratteristiche fisiche dell'asse di figura (11 g, 25 mm, 6 h), rientrano nei margini di variabilità dei conî d'epoca,.
(2)La Salus sul rovescio della moneta, fa probabilmente riferimento a voti celebrati per la salute dell'imperatore e per la salvezza del popolo.
