Silver coins of Baduila from the new mint of Ticinum began in a traditional manner but straight after changes were made: the quarter silique resumed bearing the full name of the kind on the reverse as did the half siliquae. Hahn assigns to Roma the examples which are of higher style and bear a cross before DN.
