| Additional information |
Pallanum was a Frentanian settlement in the central Adriatic hinterland of Italy, and its bronze coinage represents one of the more obscure municipal issues of the pre-Roman consolidation period. The Frentani submitted to Rome following the Samnite Wars, and this issue almost certainly falls within the uneasy decades of nominal Roman alliance before full civic absorption — a window narrow enough that very few types were struck at all.
The HN Italy gap in the reference is telling. Sambon's attribution remains the primary anchor for this type, and auction appearances are rare enough that die studies have never been systematically undertaken.
