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.
