Additional information

Hyria and Orra were small Oscan-speaking communities in Apulia whose independent bronze coinage effectively ends with Roman consolidation of the region following the Social War pressures of the second century. The dual HN Italy attribution here — #790 and #810 — reflects unresolved scholarly disagreement about which of the two towns produced which bronzes, a problem compounded by the absence of explicit ethnic legends on many issues and the near-identical fabric shared by neighboring Apulian mints.
