Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and bearded head of Jupiter facing right, rendered in robust Italic style with detailed hair and beard. A group of four pellets arranged vertically in the left field serves as the mark of value (quadrunx). The portrait is boldly modelled, occupying much of the flan, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated above the brow. No legend is present on the obverse.

Aanvullende informatie

Atella was a Campanian town that shifted allegiance to Hannibal following the Roman disaster at Cannae in 216 BC — a decision that placed it among the communities Rome would eventually punish severely. The coins issued under Carthaginian-aligned control during this narrow window represent one of the few tangible artifacts of that political rupture. Rome retook Atella around 211 BC, and the town's independent coinage ceased entirely at that point.

The quadrunx denomination itself is uncommon in Campanian civic issues, making Atella's output of this type notable among collectors of the series.
