| Beschrijving voorzijde | A two-handled krater (mixing vessel) depicted in high relief at centre, rendered with careful attention to the vessel's flared mouth, arched handles, and fluted foot. Four pellets arranged in the field around the krater — one to the upper left, one to the lower left, one to the upper right, and one to the lower right — serving as the denomination mark of the triens (one-third of an as). The design is uninscribed and occupies an irregularly shaped flan typical of Central Italian aes grave coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heavy cast bronzes of this class belong to the so-called "aes grave" tradition, produced by a cluster of central Italian mints whose precise identities remain disputed. The attribution to an uncertain issuer is not evasion — it reflects a genuine scholarly impasse, with candidates including Hatria, Luceria, and several smaller communities caught between Roman expansion and Samnite resistance during the third century.
At roughly a third of the as by weight, the triens occupied a practical middle denomination in local exchange. Haeberlin's foundational typological work and the subsequent Thurlow-Vecchi corpus have narrowed the field without closing it.
