[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 8544990, member: 74282"]These types were likely minted a few decades later in Cosa during the First Punic War, perhaps in part modeled on the silver type.

The non-Romans need not fully understand the types. It is enough that they accept the money as good since it was minted at local weight standards[/QUOTE]
