Æ18

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.
