| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse of the cast bronze Ramo secco currency bar, presenting a corresponding dry branch motif in low relief, mirroring the obverse design though with a somewhat less defined rendering. The bifurcated branch form rises from a narrow base, its surface showing the coarse, pitted texture typical of Etruscan aes signatum casting. The field is otherwise plain, with no inscriptions or subsidiary devices, and the irregular edges of the bar are clearly visible, reflecting the rudimentary production methods of pre-monetary Etruscan exchange media. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The ramo secco bars occupy a contested space in early Italian monetary history — whether they functioned as currency, proto-currency, or simply weighed bronze for trade settlement remains unresolved. Haeberlin's foundational work grouped them typologically, but attribution to a single Etruscan authority has never held up under scrutiny. Multiple production centers are likely.
The three-century date range reflects genuine uncertainty, not carelessness.
