1 Biunx

Larinum, a Frentanian town in what is now Molise, was among a small cluster of Italian communities granted the right to strike bronze coinage under Roman oversight during the Second Punic War period. The biunx denomination — worth two unciae, or one-sixth of an as — was an uncommon fraction even by the standards of allied Italian mints, and Larinum's output was modest enough that pieces appear rarely in trade.

The Frentani had allied with Rome by the late fourth century BC, and this coinage reflects that subordinate but recognized status: locally produced, yet conforming to Roman weight standards as they declined through the early second century.
