Context
Rulers listed are not conclusive. http://ptolemybronze.com/ptolemy_series.html depicts 3 similar variants, Sv-1423v1, v2 and v3 and has them classified in Alexandria Late 3rd - Early 2nd C. BC Unmarked Series 1, Weight Standard #3 Largest Denomination of the 6th Series. The group in this section is best described as a 'Simplified Series 6', somewhat related to the complex and speculative multiple marked and unmarked sub-series of Faucher and Lorber's Series 6 in their AJN 2010 paper. This 'Simplified Series 6' is similar to Table 5 of the AJN 2021 paper by D. Wolf and is only of the unmarked types.
