1 Uncia

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" is not evasion — it reflects a genuine scholarly impasse that has persisted for over a century. Multiple Samnite and Latin communities struck bronze on the Roman libral standard during the third century BC, and without epigraphic legend or secure hoard provenance, pinning this uncia to a single mint remains impossible. Haeberlin's foundational work on aes grave attempted to resolve many such attributions through weight analysis alone, with limited success for this type.
