Commentary
Pour ce type G. Buceti a recensé douze exemplaires avec des poids compris entre 4,09 g et 6,68 g. Ce monnayage semble tardif puisque l’ethnique a disparu. Avec une tête de Janus, pouvons -nous identifier ce bronze avec un As ? Quant au revers, à la place de la mandibule d’animal, si nous regardons l’exemplaire à la verticale, nous pourrions avoir affaire à une trompette ce qui est plus en rapport avec un fer de lance.
