| Beschrijving keerzijde | A four-rayed sunburst or wheel pattern in low relief at center, with four straight rays radiating from a raised central boss, dividing the field into quadrants. The design is rendered in the schematic, abbreviated style typical of Central Italian aes grave fractions of the third to second century BC. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with sand-casting techniques. No inscription or legend accompanies the device. The surface exhibits a rough, porous texture characteristic of cast bronze of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — these bronzes have been assigned at various points to Cales, to Teanum Sidicinum, and to other Campanian or Samnite mints, with no consensus surviving long enough to stick. The series falls within the broader cast and struck aes grave traditions of the region, produced during a period when Rome's allies and rivals alike were issuing independent bronze coinage before Roman monetary dominance rendered local issues obsolete.
