Additional information

Nola was a Campanian city with deep Oscan roots, and its small silver fractions were struck during a period of intense pressure from Roman expansion across the region. The city formally surrendered to Rome in 313 BC, though limited autonomous coinage continued for some decades afterward — placing this obol squarely in that contested twilight of municipal independence.
