Description:
Written along the fibres in a large and unpractised semi-uncial hand, such as is some times found in private letters. The writer was using a faulty pen and the ink has blotted in places. Table of the Roman money system with no variations from the norm, perhaps drawn up by a schoolboy. The verso is blank.
