1 Uncia

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — these cast bronze unciae have been assigned at various points to Luceria, Venusia, and several other Samnite or Latin communities, with no consensus reached. Cast rather than struck, they belong to the aes grave tradition that predates Rome's shift to struck coinage and circulated across a region where civic identity and minting authority were frequently disrupted by the Social War's precursors and the slow extension of Roman administrative control throughout the third century.
