Note
This specimen was found ‘fortuitamente sulla collina di Phoinike’ (p. 161) and certainly belongs to Buthrotum. The obverse type recalls Neronian issues (RPC 1416-7), but due to the absence of ethnic, this issue probably dates from the Triumviral period, as RPC 1378. —— Instead of SICVIVS, the second name must probably be read as SILVIVS.
