| Beschrijving keerzijde | A fully armed Italian warrior, wearing a crested Italic helmet, muscled cuirass, and short military tunic, stands facing right in a posture of martial authority. In his left hand he holds a long spear or standard, while his right hand extends a caduceus or sceptre toward the head of a large bull standing to the right, symbolising the Italian allies taking the oath against Rome. The bull, rendered in robust relief, faces left and appears to be goring or confronting the Roman she-wolf, a powerful propagandistic image asserting Italian independence. An Oscan letter appears in the lower field as a control mark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Marsic Confederation issued this denarius at the outbreak of the Social War, the rebellion by Rome's Italian allies demanding the citizenship Rome had long withheld. The confederation even minted in deliberate imitation of Roman coinage weight and module — a pointed political act, asserting financial legitimacy for a state that existed for barely two years before Roman military and diplomatic pressure crushed it. The city of Corfinium was briefly renamed Italica and designated the confederation's capital.
The war ultimately produced the very citizenship the allies had fought for, granted piecemeal through the lex Julia and lex Plautia Papiria before fighting ended.
