定義

• A copper coin common to a large number of the Italian states, of which the Follis (q.v.) was the prototype.

  They were issued in Naples before the ninth century, those of Stefanio (821-832) having a figure of St. Januarius. Capua and Salerno struck them about the same time. At Gaeta and Mileto they appear in the eleventh century. and at Messina, Brindisi, and Cattaro before the termination of the twelfth. Those of the last-named town bear the figure of St. Trifon, the patron saint. Ragusa and Scutari issued them before the fourteenth century, but after this period they were gradually superseded by other coins.
