| Note | 665 and 666 are dated to c. 200 BC by Campana, ‘Sicilia: Assoros (ca. 200 a.C.)’, part of Corpus Nummorum Antiquae Italiae (Zecche minori) in Panorama Numismatico 108 (Maggio 1996), pp. 137-40). He rejects the late dating, followed by RPC, but does not explain the use of Latin at so early a date. |
