| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo (Apulu) facing left, rendered in archaic Italic style. The ethnic legend AISERNINO appears before the face in the field, with a control letter or symbol occasionally present behind the head. The portraiture reflects the influence of Greek coinage on the Samnite monetary tradition of the Oscan-speaking community of Aesernia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aesernia — modern Isernia in Molise — was a Latin colony founded by Rome in 263 BC, the same year this coinage begins. The timing is not coincidental. Colonial coinages of this type were struck to pay labor, soldiers, and local contractors during the foundational years of a new settlement, not as a civic expression of independence. The colony sat astride the Via Latina at a strategically sensitive point during Rome's consolidation of Samnite territory following the Third Samnite War.
The series is well-documented across the major reference works but survives in genuinely small numbers.
