| Beschrijving voorzijde | Jugate busts of the Dioskouroi facing right, each wearing a laureate pileus, rendered in low relief within a dotted border. The overlapping effigies are depicted in a schematic Italic style characteristic of Apulian bronze coinage of the late third century BC. The flan shows the green patina typical of well-seasoned ancient bronze. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Luceria was one of the earliest Roman colonies in Apulia, planted there in 314 BC specifically to anchor Roman control over a strategically exposed region. The city produced its own bronze fractional coinage under Roman authority during the Second Punic War and its immediate aftermath — a period when Hannibal had ravaged much of the Italian south and local monetary supply chains were badly disrupted. These small bronzes filled a real gap in everyday exchange when the broader Roman monetary system was under severe strain.
The semuncia, worth half an uncia, is the smallest denomination in this municipal series.
