| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, stands in profile to the right upon a thunderbolt, its head turned back to the left in a characteristic pose. Stars serving as marks of value are placed beneath each wing in the field. The Oscan legend KAPU appears in the exergue, identifying the mint city of Capua, written in the Old Italic script of the Campanian region. The bold, assured style of the eagle type reflects the strong Greek artistic heritage of the Campanian mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Capua's alliance with Hannibal following the Roman disaster at Cannae in 216 BC prompted the city to issue its own bronze coinage — a direct assertion of independence from Rome that lasted until the Roman siege and reconquest of 211 BC. The minting of denominations like this biunx was part of that short-lived monetary autonomy, extinguished when Rome retook the city and executed its ruling class with deliberate thoroughness.
