Seria odlewów z Olbii ma bliskie podobieństwo do włoskiego grobu aes, którego funkcją było dostarczanie nominałów w brązie według jego wartości wewnętrznej. Teoretyczny stosunek srebra do brązu we Włoszech przed 217 r. p.n.e. wynosił około 1:144 i przypuszczalnie był taki sam w regionie Morza Czarnego.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The cast series of Olbia has a close resemblance to the Italian aes grave both of whose function was to provide denominations in bronze at its intrinsic value. The theoretical ratio of silver to bronze in Italy before 217 BC was about 1:144 and this would presumably have been much the same in the Black Sea region.
