Ex Numismatica Varesi. From the Terner collection (collector's ticket included). Ex Roma Numismatics Ltd, E-Sale 97, 26 May 2022, lot 823 (company's ticket included). From the private collection of an Essex, UK, lady.
From Roma Numismatics' footnote: The murex shell symbol makes a punning allusion to the moneyer's name. The shells, found mainly around the southern Mediterranean coastline, were left to decompose and the purple ink which resulted was used to make purple dye. This dye was highly valued throughout the ancient world, and used in Rome to colour the senatorial togas.
