APULIA, Arpi. Circa 275-250 BC. Æ 22mm (8.10 gm). Bull butting right; POULLI, magistrate, below / Horse galloping right. SNG ANS 645; HN Italy 645. VF, green patina. Rare.

According to Rutter, "[the] presence of coins of this issue in the Morino hoard (IGCH 1995 = Crawford, RRCH 54) and the Italy, 1862 hoard (IGCH 2005 = Crawford, RRCH 28), buried c. 240-230, shows that they circulated in worn condition beside the ROMANO issues. It seems likely that the Poullos whose name is on this issue is the father of the Dazos who defected to Hannibal."
