| Additional information |
Barium — modern Bari on the Adriatic coast of Apulia — was a Peucetian settlement that adopted Roman weight standards following the Social War period, producing a limited bronze series that sat awkwardly between indigenous Italic tradition and Roman administrative pressure. The sextans, worth one-sixth of an as, was among the smallest denominations struck here, and the civic output from Barium was modest enough that survivors are genuinely scarce rather than merely marketed as such.
