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.
