Lot # 19

Greek Italy. Central Italy, uncertain mint. Capua or Minturnae(?). AE 20.5 mm. late 90s-early 80s BC. Obv. Head of Dionysos right, wearing ivy wreath. Rev. Panther standing right, head turned back, holding thyrsos. HN Italy 2672; SNG Cop. 342 (Capua). AE. 9.90 g. 21.10 mm. R. VF. This issue has hitherto been tentatively attributed to Capua (BMC and SNG Cop.), but Garrucci (p. 59f) claimed that the coins appeared to be found chiefly in the neighbourhood of Orvieto (Bolsena). Robinson (NC 1964, p. 42) envisaged a Second Punic War context.
