| Additional information |
Caelia was a small Peucetian settlement in Apulia — modern Ceglie del Campo, near Barium — that produced a modest bronze coinage during the period of Roman consolidation in southern Italy. The town never struck silver, and its bronze issues represent the full extent of its monetary output. The sextans, marking two unciae in the Roman libral system, reflects how thoroughly Roman weight standards had penetrated even minor Apulian communities by this period, whatever their degree of political autonomy.
