Abstract (type = Description)
Crawford says the moneyer may plausibly be identified with the Praetor of Sicily, RE Papirius 39, mentioned by Cicero. Sydenham identifies him as M. [Papirius] Carbo. Sydenham dates this coin earlier than Crawford, to c 137-134 B.C.E, and indicates the mint of origin as 'auxiliary Italian' rather than Rome (p.49). Badian says that the branch Crawford notes on the obverse is not visible on this particular coin. He also refers to a dot/line border on the reverse rather than the line border Crawford describes.
