                              the cast bars of the fourth and third centuries 
                              BC. Always found in fragments and subdivisions, 
                              they generally weigh anywhere from 500 grams to 
                              2000 grams, normally with weak or missing designs. 
                              They are found predominantly in Emilia, hence the 
                              attribution to this city.
