The abbreviated civic legend 'TU', denoting the issuing city of Tuder (modern Todi, Umbria), appears to the right of the arrowhead. The design is rendered in low relief consistent with cast aes grave production of the early second century BC. |

| Additional information |
Tuder — modern Todi, in Umbria — was among the Latin allies whose coinage output reflects the enormous financial strain of the Second Punic War. This light-series uncia belongs to a reduced-weight standard adopted as Rome and its allies struggled to sustain military expenditure against Hannibal, a contraction that effectively halved the as from its earlier sextantal weight. The "light type" designation distinguishes it from the heavier earlier issues of the same city, a distinction that matters considerably for attribution and dating within the Tudertine series.
