Note
The reading of the rev. legend is not certain. But if it is accepted, this coin might provide the missing link with the coins signed by the proconsul M. Rutilus (3517) as a duovir with the name Feridius figures on both series. This would prove that the foundation of the Colonia Iulia Gemina indeed occurred in the Triumviral period, as stated by Grant, FITA 238.
