Beschrijving voorzijde Female head emerging from a scallop shell, facing left, rendered in archaic Italic style with broad, rounded features. The hair is arranged in loose waves, and the shell's ribs frame the face in a distinctive decorative manner. The ethnic inscription HAT appears in the lower field beneath the shell, identifying the issuing city of Hatria. The overall composition reflects the bold, heavy relief characteristic of early central Adriatic aes grave coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, depicted in full gallop facing right, with wings raised and forelegs extended in a dynamic pose. The figure is rendered in relief consistent with the heavy cast or struck aes grave tradition of the region, with broad, somewhat schematic musculature. Five pellets arranged in a horizontal row below the figure serve as the value mark, denoting the quincunx denomination equal to five unciae. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional inscription or exergual legend.

Aanvullende informatie

Hatria — modern Atri in the Abruzzo — was an Oscan settlement that came under Roman influence in the early third century BC, receiving a Latin colony in 289 BC. Its aes grave series belongs to a short-lived window of autonomous or semi-autonomous bronze casting before Roman monetary standardization effectively absorbed regional production. At over 200 grams, this piece represents the libral or near-libral standard, cast rather than struck, placing it among the heavier autonomous Italian bronze issues that survive in any number today.
