| Aversbeschreibung | Head of Hercules facing right, wearing the Nemean lion's skin as a headdress, the scalp draped over the crown of the head with the lion's muzzle and open jaws visible above the brow. The facial features are rendered in a bold, archaic Italic style characteristic of central Italian aes grave coinage, with flowing locks of hair visible beneath the pelt. The field is plain and uninscribed. |

The design is boldly modeled in the heavy, sculptural manner typical of cast aes grave coinage of central Italy during the third to second century BC. The field is plain and bears no inscription. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
These heavy cast bronzes — the aes grave issues of pre-Roman central Italy — were produced before the Roman monetary system fully absorbed the region's local traditions. At over 300 grams, this piece dates to a period when the as was still theoretically tied to the Roman libral standard, though by the mid-third century that standard was already being eroded by the financial pressures of the First Punic War. The issuing city remains unattributed with certainty; Haeberlin's classification acknowledges the ambiguity without resolving it.
