I find in M. Pellerin’s third Supplement, pub- 
lifhed in the year 1767,3 denarius (fee Tab. XVIII. 
n. 6.), attributed by that very learned and ingenious 
gentleman to the city of Corfinium (29), the capital 
of the Peligni, where the deputies affembled, in order 
to regulate the operations of the war entered upon 
againft the Romans, by the confederated Italian 
Rates, towards the decline of the feventh cen- 
tury of Rome. This notion, which, I believe, 
will not be conteRed by the learned, he founds 
upon the appearance of the letter c '(30) on

(30) Peller. ubi fup. That Etrulcan coins are fometimes 
adorned with the initial letters of the names of towns, is a point 
that will be allowed by every one moderately verfed in this 
branch of literature. I have one of thefe, with the Etrufcan 
letter v (fee Tab. XVIH. n. 7.), and the uncial maric, or fingle 
globule, upon it. On one fide it exhibits an anchor, and 
on the reverfe a wheel. I received this piece from an Ita- 
lian gentleman, and have fome reafon to believe it might have 
been found in Tufcany. As therefore the anchor indicates 
it to have been ftruck in a maritime town, it may perhaps 
not improperly be attributed to Cofa, or Cofla, an antient 
and famous city of Etruria, feated near Telamon and Popu- 
lonia, at a fmall diftance from the fca, according to Strabo, 
This appears the more probable, as Etrulcan coins ot Telamon 
and Populonia have been aiSbually difcovered, and communicated 
to the learned world. Anton. Francifc. Gor. Muf. Etrufc. Vo!.
