Notes

• Note: The entry recorded 22 examples of this type. Dressel also notes that Rostovtzeff was erroneous in assigning these pieces a legend and identifying them as TURS 2148. They are more properly TURS 2149. Three examples of this type are in the Berlin Münzkabinett and are likely to have originally belonged to Dressel.
