Commentary
Pour ce type G. Buceti a recensé douze exemplaires avec des poids compris entre 4,09 g et 6,68 g. Ce monnayage semble tardif puisque l’ethnique a disparu. Avec une tête de Janus, pouvons -nous identifier ce bronze avec un As ? Quant au revers, à la place de la mandibule d’animal, si nous regardons l’exemplaire à la verticale, nous pourrions avoir affaire à une trompette ce qui est plus en rapport avec un fer de lance.

With a head of Janus, can we identify this bronze with an Ace? As for the reverse, instead of the animal mandible, if we look at the example vertically, we could be dealing with a trumpet which is more related to a spearhead
