1 Sextans Dots divided

The sextans denomination — one-sixth of an as — was struck by numerous central Italian mints operating outside Rome's direct monetary authority during the third century BC, many of which remain unidentified. The "dots divided" descriptor refers to a specific die arrangement of the value marks that distinguishes this emission from otherwise similar issues, and it is this detail that allows catalogers to separate production runs that would otherwise be indistinguishable by weight or module alone.

HN Italy 379 places it within a loose grouping of uncertain Samnite or Campanian-adjacent issues — the attribution has shifted across scholarship without resolution.
