Veniamo alle conclusioni. Allo scopo di valutare la
moneta di figura ho realizzato la tabella di confronto allegata
nella quale ho riportato, oltre alle immagini delle
monete reperite nel web, le caratteristiche fisiche di
tutte le monete prese in considerazione. Dall'esame
della tabella si evince, a mio avviso, che, per quanto
consentito ad una valutazione a distanza, la moneta di
figura presenta caratteristiche non difformi dalle
monete autentiche reperite nel web.
Un saluto cordiale.

Dai dati tabulati si evince che la moneta di figura
presenta caratteristiche fisiche (2,90g, 18mm) che
rientrano nei margini di variazione delle monete
autentiche reperite nel web.
(2) Non essendo citata la
Potestā Tribunizia, la moneta non č esattamente
databile. Il Ric la pone nel periodo che va dal
ritorno di Adriano dall'ultimo dei suoi viaggi, il
134, alla morte nel 138.
