commentary
This document is part of a group of four tesserae (ISic030311-ISic030314) found during a survey in 1990 (5th of September) in the area north north of the temple of Athena, where a large deposit (c. 150) of lead tesserae was previously found. Besides the tesserae in the same area four bronze coins, a bronze ring, a sling bullet (not inscribed) and metal scraps were found. The tessera seems to be used twice. It is worth noting that all the tesserae with the reference to the ninth fratra feature different uses.
