NOTES
[1] See token N. 249 shown below (Dr. Busso Peus - Auction E 420 (2017-11-18) - Lot 6406).
[2] Alföldi does not describe the legend VOTA PVBLICA on the obverse for this type of reverse, but Cohen VIII p. 69 had already cataloged it with number 13. In the example shown (token No. 140) I do not see clearly that Isis wears a sistrum in her right hand, and perhaps we should catalog her within type 3b, being then a reverse in which Isis simply raises her hand and a token that would not be contemplated in Alföldi either. See British Museum, number 1983,0332.6.
