| 表面の説明 | A yoke rendered in low relief occupies the central field of the flan. The device is depicted in profile with characteristic simplicity typical of Central Italian aes grave coinage of the third to second century BC. The surrounding field is plain and unlettered, with no legend or border decoration. The casting surface exhibits the slightly granular texture consistent with sand-cast bronze production of the period. |

| 裏面の説明 | A crescent occupies the central field, its horns oriented upward, with a single pellet positioned at the centre of the concave face serving as the value mark denoting one uncia, equivalent to one-twelfth of an as. The design is rendered in low relief consistent with the cast bronze aes grave tradition of Central Italy. The surrounding field is plain with no legend, border, or additional ornament. The flan edges are irregular, reflecting the casting technique employed. |

The unciae struck by uncertain Central Italian mints during the third century BC occupy a frustratingly ambiguous corner of Roman Republican numismatics. Attribution debates have run for over a century — Haeberlin's foundational work placed several of these pieces, Crawford declined to include them in RRC entirely, and the HN Italy corpus remains the most useful working reference without fully resolving the question of which community produced them.
The third century BC was not a quiet time for Central Italy's smaller minting authorities. The Social War's precursors were already visible in shifting alliances, and Rome's monetization pressure on allied communities drove several cities to produce bronze on the as-grave standard before that system collapsed under its own weight.
