Additional Kerkeiyons of Longane?

[Lelouch]

Ciao e tutti,

I was reading Jenkins, G.K. "The coinages of Enna, Galaria, Piakos, Imachara, Kephaloidion, and Longane".
In this there is a comment made by Professor Manganaro.

Giacomo Manganaro: ...Une autre chose encore. Vous avez parlé à propos de la possible identification du site de IMACHARA du caducée trouvé dans les environs de Nissoria, mais cela ne signifie rien, parce qu'à Civita dans les environs de S. Maria di Licodia on a trouvé un caducée de Rhegion. Encore, dans le Musée de Syracuse il y a trois exemplaires de Longane. Un exemplaire a été trouvé à Camarina par Mademoiselle Pelagatti. Un autre exemplaire provient des fouilles de Carrettoni à Tusa (Alesa) dont Longane n'est pas loin. L'identification de la pièce a été faite par moi au Musée de Syracuse. Madame Tranchina pourra vous indiquer les exemplaires, qui proviennent de Tusa.

Please let me know if I have read/translated this incorrectly, but to me it sounds like there is 3 additional Kerkeiyons of Longane in the Syracuse Museum. The Syracuse Museum should be the Paolo Orsi Museum right? I am curious if anyone knows anything about them.

I have only seen the British Museum one https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/G_1875-0810-3

I think you have indeed misread/mistranslated it. Professor Manganaro says that there are three coins of Longane in the coin cabinet of the Paolo Orsi Museum in Syracuse. One of them, identified by him, comes from Carettoni’s excavations at Tusa, and another was found at Kamarina by Miss Pelagatti.

a @Lelouch  e @Brennos2

Ciao, tra le mie foto ho trovato questa. La mia visita al museo Orsi risale a più di 3 anni fa.

Ero letteralmente frastornato dalla bellezza delle opere e dai reperti esposti e non ricordo, ma credo che se vi erano dei caducei li avrei sicuramente fotografati...😎

Grazie @Brennos2  e @roby14

Thank you for the corrections. I tried to translate / ask with AI initially but it translated it as "examples" not coins and so led me to believe it.

It is still very important even with how much everyone proclaims AI to understand the original language. Unfortunately I don't know French.

It is not Italian, it's French 😄

That said, I don’t really understand why the exchange between Jenkins and Manganaro starts in Italian and then suddenly switches to French.
To be fair to ChatGPT, the sentence “.. Encore, dans le Musée de Syracuse …” isn’t grammatically correct, so the confusion is understandable.
