| Additional information |
Canusium — modern Canosa di Puglia — was a prosperous Daunian city that adopted Greek coinage conventions during the late fourth and early third centuries BC, a period when the region was caught between expanding Roman influence and the fracturing remnants of Oscan political power. These tiny silver fractions circulated in a genuinely multilingual commercial environment, used alongside issues from Tarentum and the Oscan-speaking interior.
HN Italy 657 is among the scarcer minor fractions attributed to the city's autonomous coinage phase, which effectively ended as Roman absorption of Apulia rendered local civic issues obsolete.
