Note
44 coins, 10 obv. dies. 3906-7 The proconsulate of A Plautius is dated by R. Szramkiewicz,
Les Gouverneurs de Province à l’Époque augustéenne; Contribution à l’Histoire administrative et sociale du principat
(1975) to AD 1/2. If this is correct then 3906-7 were struck at the same time as 3914-5 and 3908-13. They would then comprise an issue of three denominations, perhaps during Gaius’ visit to the island.
