| Note |
The letter forms Ϲ and Ɛ also occur. Both BMC and Imhoof-Blumer in LS date the coin to the reign of Augustus (followed by Münsterberg, Beamtennamen), regarding the magistrate as 'ein älterer Corbulo', but neither the absence of the name of Nero nor the presence of the capricorn necessarily precludes the obvious interpretation: i.e., that the coin is the smallest denomination of the Neronian issue of the grammateus Corbulo. See also U. Vogel-Weidemann, Die Statthalter von Africa und Asia, p. 372, n. 1202.
