Rubi — modern Ruvo di Puglia — was a Peucetian settlement in inland Apulia that produced its own bronze coinage during the period when Rome was consolidating control over the Italian peninsula. The city's issues fall squarely within the broader Apulian bronze tradition, sharing iconographic conventions with neighboring Peucetian mints rather than aligning with either the Greek coastal colonies or the Roman federate coinage emerging to the west.

After the Roman conquest of Apulia following the Pyrrhic War, local autonomous bronze issues of this kind ceased. Examples attributable to Rubi are infrequent in the market.
