Note
The attribution to Segesta is doubted by A. Cutroni Tusa because of the lack of evidence for the cult of the Dioscuri at Segesta (well known at Tyndaris): see her ‘La documentazione numismatica’ in
L’impiego dei termini Apoikia e Katoikia nell’ambito della Sicilia romana
in
Kokalos
XLI (1995), pp. 365-6. An attribution to Tyndaris is vindicated with good arguments by P. Villemur, loc.cit.
