Additional data
| Frequency of overstrikesFrequency of overstrikes: | frequent | Level of confidenceLevel of confidence of the identification: | strong |
| RemarksRemarks: | "Overstruck on a denarius of L. Flaminius Chilo (Cr. 302/1) [...] On this specimen the name L. Flaminius Chilo (Crawford 302/1) is clearly visible at three o’clock on the obverse. This overstrike is not listed by Crawford in his table XVIII (pp. 116-117). It is interesting that the Chilo coin was overstruck only 4 years after initially being struck. Perhaps overstriking was more common under the Republic than previously thought, but the undertype was normally obliterated." | ||
