It has been suggested they were brothel tokens, used to pay for sexual acts as an alternative to normal denominations which carried the portrait of the Emperor. However, some scholars dispute this hypothesis and theorise that they were gaming tokens, in which their images were intended to entertain their owners.

La capra kri-kri (Capra hircus cretica), a volte chiamata capra cretese, è una sottospecie della capra domestica. Scavi archeologici hanno portato alla luce diverse rappresentazioni della capra kri-kri in affreschi o in pitture vascolari antichi e si ritiene che quest'animale sia stato portato sull'isola di Creta durante il periodo minoico (da Wikipedia). La kri-kri, pur di dimensioni poco più grandi di quelle di una capra comune, ha un aspetto maestoso: possiede una lunga barba e un mantello bruno con una banda nera che, dal muso, percorre la schiena fino alla coda; più o meno neri possono essere anche il petto e le zampe nel maschio, caratterizzato da due lunghe corna ricurve simili a quelle dello stambecco.
