Commentary
Notre type est anépigraphe et sans différent au droit. Le pétoncle est composé de quatrorze peignes (pecten). Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous présentons un exemplaire à la vente.
Our type is anepigraphic and without difference on the obverse. The scallop is composed of fourteen combs (pecten). This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we are offering a example for sale.

Historical background
APULIA - BUTUNTUM
(3rd century BC)
We only have fragmentary information on this city founded by the Peucetians, an Italic tribe of Messapiens. Cited by Pliny the Elder (HN. III. 105) as part of Calabria, the city is placed in the table of Peutinger between Rubri and Barium, not far from the Adriatic Sea.
