Commentary
Pour ce type G. Buceti a recensé vingt-trois exemplaires avec des poids compris entre 5,82 g et 8,25 g. Nous semblons bien avoir affaire à un as. Les auteurs du Roman Provincial Coinage ont recensé quarante deux exemplaires avec un poids moyen de 6,58 g et dix neuf coins de droit. Ce type aurait été frappé pendant les guerres Civiles. Le monnayage de Panorme cesse sous Tibère.
