| Additional information |
Arretium — modern Arezzo in Tuscany — struck bronze coinage only during the Second Punic War, almost certainly to fund local military obligations to Rome in the desperate years following Cannae. The city was one of the eighteen Latin colonies that remained loyal when many others wavered, and it supplied Rome with substantial war material recorded by Livy, including grain, arms, and tools for the fleet. This coinage belongs to that narrow window of crisis production, which is why the series is so short-lived and the surviving corpus so small.
