Comment
JLR: “Middle-denomination bronze coins of Ptolemy III occur not uncommonly at sites in the northastern Peloponnese. C. C. Lorber (CPtolEmpI.2) has identified this hemiobol type as an issue of Corinth.“
Comment
RW: “Athough this coin is heavily worn, the attribution is likely due to its fabric, weight, diameter, and the presence of the dimple that is diagnostic of Ptolemaic bronzes.“
