comment Central. TN - pale fine matrix; G/B surfaces; polished upper, faceted polished lower. Reading from opposite directions:- [__]TIT(usd) / CAE[__]. 1. 1 BC.
name1 CAE[___]
name2 [___]TIT
comment Both names are unknown. The die is unusual because the lower line is always upside down so the stamp has to be read from both directions. The 2-line Die 01C01 of Jul(l)ios P18 is the only other recorded example of this arrangement. A stamp at Strasbourg Museum (25693) reads IOTCAE / AVOTIS, TN Cam 7/8.
