Notes

  • Note: Terminus ante quem provided by excavation context. Rostovtzeff argued that Side B represented a furca, used to carry the equipment (sarcina) of Roman legionaries. However, the caduceus could also be represented in this stylised manner. (See A. Alföldi, (1937). A Festival of Isis in Rome under the Christian Emperors of the IVth Century. Budapest, Institute of Numismatics and Archaeology of the Pázmány University p. 20).
