Cavino, who worked all his life in Padua, is known for his imitations, today still called Paduans, of Roman coins, which were passed off as originals in the sixteenth century. One hundred twenty-two of Cavino's dies are preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. For extensive bibliography on Cavino, see Kress, p. 73, to which may be added F.
