<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3238804, member: 84744"]That "ΠΛΩ" is certainly intriguing. An uncia from Apulia seems to make sense, given the design and weight. In doing a bit of searching I noticed a couple of things that may or may not be useful. First, the coins of Brundisium (including unciae) sometimes have a similar club on them. Second (and this one I find more exciting), there is a town close to Tarentum called Pulsano which seems to date back to the bronze age, but with no coins recorded for it.(?) On the Adriatic, there's also Polignano (closer to Brundisium). Either of those names could be linked to "ΠΛΩ" but I haven't been able to find out the Greek names of those cities. A scrap to maybe follow up on though...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
