Commentary
Type inhabituel archaïque. Pour ce type nous avons le tetrobole (BMC. 13) et le trihemiobole (BMC. 14). Ce type a parfois été attribué à Cebren (Troade) à cause de la tête de bélier et considéré comme une diobole.
Unusual archaic type. For this type we have the tetrobolus (BMC. 13) and the trihemiobolus (BMC. 14). This type has sometimes been attributed to Cebren (Troad) because of the ram's head and considered a diobolus
