| Additional information |
Aquinum, a Volscian town in the Liri valley, struck its own bronze coinage during a narrow window before Roman municipal authority effectively ended local minting in the region. The "Left / Left" designation in this series refers to the facing directions of the heads on each side — a detail that distinguishes die varieties within what was already a small civic issue, likely produced for local market transactions rather than any broader circulation.
