Scattered marks, small edge lamination, slightly off center. VF.

Though a puteal is often described as a "wellhead," the Puteal Scribonianum depicted here was a walled enclosure erected around the spot of a lightning strike in the Roman Forum. The Romans believed such spots were marked by the gods, and hence worthy of veneration. Erected circa 204 BC by a member of the Libo clan, the Puteal became a popular meeting spot for money lenders and merchants.

Estimate: 100 USD
