referred to as hexadrachms owing to the contrast in weight with the
comparatively light tetradrachms struck contemporaneously in the

tetradrachms. However labeled, their size and purity are testament
to the prosperity of the Boii on the eve of Roman domination of the
region. The present type, associated with the beginning of the
series, displays an obverse copied from the denarii of Q. Fufius
Kalenus and Mucius Cordus (Crawford 403/1).
