The appear to date the end of the settlement to sometime during the Second Punic War. The coins, wich are of a copper allory with a high lead content, constitute an «emergency» issue. It is probable that they were struck at Carthage during a period of monetary crisis and were subsequently paid to Carthaginian forces engaged in the conflicto with Rome.
