| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal or near-frontal bull's head depicted in low relief, rendered in the archaic Italic cast bronze tradition. The bovine features are schematically modeled, with broad muzzle and short horns discernible despite significant surface wear and patination. The design occupies the central field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The style is consistent with Central Italian aes grave production of the 3rd century BC. |

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse: heavy cast bronzes of this type have been linked to various Oscan and Umbrian communities without consensus. Haeberlin's foundational 1910 work catalogued the series by weight standards rather than issuing authority, an approach that has largely held because the epigraphic and iconographic evidence simply won't resolve the question further. At over 85 grams, this piece sits at the heavier end of the surviving distribution, suggesting an early date within the century-long production window before weight reduction became systematic.
