Æ18

Beschrijving voorzijde	Janiform head depicted facing outward in both directions, rendered within a beaded border. The two conjoined facing heads share a central axis, presented in the archaic Italic tradition typical of coinage from Samnite and related Oscan communities of the period. The surfaces show characteristic flat relief of hammered bronze production.

Aanvullende informatie	Pallanum was a Frentanian settlement in central-eastern Italy whose coinage output was extremely limited, placing it among the more obscure civic mints of pre-Roman Samnite territory. The Frentani submitted to Rome following the Samnite Wars, and civic bronze issues like this one were likely obsolete within a generation of striking — which explains both their rarity and their frequent absence from the standard HN Italy corpus. The Sambon attribution (Art#198) remains the primary scholarly anchor for this type.
