Head, Historia Nuiuorum, 1911, p. 24, divides the Coinage ofLatium into two classes : 1st,

Latium; 2nd, Struck coins, JR. of the towns of Alba Fucens, Cora and Signia, and /E of Aquinum
and Cora.
I. Aes Grave.
Haeberlin, Aes Grave, 19 10, arranges the Cast coins into the following classes :
(A). B. C. 312-286.
Light or Oscan Pound. As of 272-58 grm. = 4210 grs.
(I). The Latin Wheel Series. — Tressis to Sextans.
(II). Series with head of Roma on the As. Obv. types repeated on Rev. — As to Semnncia.
(II 1 ). Series similar, but with the addition of a Club on both sides. — As to Uncia.
(III). The light Janus-Mercury series, with symbol Sickle on obv. of As and Quadrans, and on
Rev. of the rest. — As to Uncia.
(IV). The light Apollo Series, with obv. types repeated on rev., and symbol Vine-leat on
both sides. — As to Uncia.
(B) B. C. 286-268.
(V). Heavy Apollo series. Similar to series IV, but without symbol. — As to Uncia.
(VI). Heavy Janus-Mercury series. Similar to series III, but without symbol.
Series I-V, Haeberlin assigns to the Roman mint at Capua, and series VI to the Mint of Rome
itself.
He describes all these coins under the heading of rome, as the responsible issuing power.
The coins, in Sir Hermann Weber's collection, belonging to these classes are catalogued in the
order of Haeberlin's plates under Rome (cf. n os 134-197), including the Quincussis (n° 141) which
the same authority considers to have been issued by Rome, at her mint of Capua, in common with
the oter eight types of quadrilateral ingots or bars of bronze (cf. Hist. Num., p. 25).
