ResumoThe small and compact series of aes coins on which appear the names of C · BAEBIVS · P · F ·, L · RVSTICELIVS · BASTERNA ·, and L·RVSTICELIVS· CORDVS as duoviri quinquennales has always presented difficulties, chief among them being the question of the mint at which they were struck. Of the early numismatists, Sestini was the first to give these coins serious consideration: ninety years later Imhoof-Blumer described the series at length, and (influenced by Sestini) proposed its attribution to the mint of Dium (Pieriae) in Macedonia, his views being tentatively accepted afterwards in the Berlin Catalogue and more recently incorporated in the studies of H. Gaebler. For reasons which will appear below, I shall pay no great attention in this paper to the question of mint-attribution. Attention will be directed rather to the date at which the coins were struck, and to the identity of the duoviri quinquennales —Baebius in particular.
