"The name of Molossos was regarded by Noe (Thurian Distaters, p. 13) as that of a magistrate, but Robinson, adducing a plated coin on which MOΛOΣ is followed by EΠOE ("Molossos made it"), argued for an engraver's signature" (Rutter, HN Italy, 1784). Though it is uncertain whether Molossos was a die engraver or a magistrate, the coins with his name are rare and desirable, and our specimen is finer than most recorded examples, including the one in the ANS. Excellent pedigree, Toned EF.
