Panther standing right, head turned back, holding thyrsos. HN Italy 2672; SNG Cop. 342 (Capua); Cf.

R. In excellent condition for issue, nice green patina. VF. This issue has hitherto been tentatively attributed to Capua (BMC and SNG Cop.), but Garrucci (p. 59f) claimed that the coins appeared to be found chiefly in the neighbourhood of Orvieto (Bolsena). Robinson (NC 1964, p. 42) envisaged a Second Punic War context.
