Additional information

Caelia was a small Peucetian settlement in Apulia — modern Ceglie del Campo, near Barium — that produced a limited autonomous bronze coinage during the period of Roman consolidation across southern Italy. The semuncia was the smallest denomination in this civic series, and Caelia's output was modest enough that the entire coinage is represented by just a handful of dies across all collections. The range of references required to document even basic die coverage speaks to how thinly these pieces survive.
