| 表面の説明 | Helmeted head of Minerva facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a raised crest, rendered in archaic relief typical of Central Italian Aes Grave coinage. The facial features, though worn, retain the characteristic profile associated with this goddess in the early Roman Republican bronze series. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. The flan is irregular and massive, consistent with the cast production technique of the period. |

The Cantharus series belongs to the aes grave tradition of cast bronze coinage produced across central Italy during the period Rome was consolidating control over the peninsula. Attribution remains contested — the issuing authority has never been conclusively identified, with various scholars placing production in Umbria, the ager Gallicus, or among communities of uncertain Oscan or Latin affiliation. Haeberlin's foundational work catalogued the physical typology without resolving the question of origin, and subsequent scholarship has not settled it.
At this weight, the piece represents a full triens before significant reduction — earlier in the sequence of fractional diminishment that would characterize aes grave denominations through the Second Punic War.
