Administrative History

• Collection: Once Trau coll.

Notes

• Note: This specimen, which is said to have been once part of Trau collection, is only known through Alföldi’s publication. However, the piece might result from an incorrect assembly of images by the author. The obverse die is close to that of specimen H2.1, but apparently is not otherwise attested; the reverse die seems to match the reverse of specimen S30.3, which was not published by Alföldi but curiously was once part of Trau collection. The lack of evidence and the poor quality of the images of piece H1.1 provided by Alföldi do not allow us to clarify this point.
