Commentary


Notre type est anépigraphe et sans différent au droit. Le pétoncle est composé de quatrorze peignes (pecten). Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous présentons un exemplaire à la vente.

Historical background


APULIA - BUTUNTUM

(3rd century BC)

We only have fragmentary information on this city founded by the Peucetians, an Italic tribe of Messapiens. Cited by Pliny the Elder (HN. III. 105) as part of Calabria, the city is placed in the table of Peutinger between Rubri and Barium, not far from the Adriatic Sea.
