The anchor countermark is found in circles, ovals, and rectangles on both silver and bronze coins of the late 4th-early 3rd Century BC. No firm attribution of time or place of countermarking has been accepted yet, which is not surprising considering the convoluted affairs of the Seleukid royal house.

After his death in 289 BC, they seized the citadel and city of Messana and used it as a base for raids upon the surrounding countryside. Under pressure from Syracusan forces, the Mamertini requested aid from the Romans, who thereupon took Messana for themselves.

The city walls of Nicaea, modern Iznik, were begun after the devastating Gothic attack of 256 AD. Macrianus and his father must have strengthened the civic defenses during their revolt against Gallienus, for the walls are featured prominently on their coinage from the city. Much of the walls remain extant in modern times.

(900) Market weights were used locally in France and were known as Livrais or Pesons. In medieval France there was not any uniform weight standard. Each province's standards were set by the local ruling class. Uniformity of weights was not introduced in France until the French Revolution. The dates on these pieces is most likely a legislative dale by which the weight standard was set. These pieces are definitely medieval by their fabric.
