S. Ferrer, XXII Congreso Nacional de ArqueologÃa (Vigo, 1993), pp. 283-8, and L. Sagredo, Hispania Antiqua XIX (1995), pp. 37-75 have discussed these coins and suggested that 1-3 were struck in c. 19 BC in Lucus Augusti (Lugo), because of the finds there, especially a flan for making coins like 3.
T.R. Volk, ‘Hispania and the gold and silver coinage of Augustus’, La moneda en temps d’August (Barcelona, 1997), pp. 73-4, has suggested that the metrology, fabric and style of the coins suggest that they were probably struck by workers detached from the ‘Patricia’ group.
