| Additional information |
Volaterrae — the Etruscan city known to its inhabitants as Velathri — struck bronze coinage during a narrow window when Roman military pressure on Etruria was intensifying following the Gallic wars of the mid-third century. This uncia belongs to a value series that reflects Volaterrae's adoption of the Roman libral weight standard, a pragmatic alignment with the dominant regional power rather than a purely indigenous monetary tradition. The city would formally pass into Roman hands well before the Social War, making its independent coinage output both brief and geographically contained.
