| Beschrijving keerzijde | A trident displayed upright in the center of the field, its three prongs pointing upward and its shaft tapering downward, flanked on either side by a six-pointed star. A crescent appears above the trident head, with a further star positioned above it. The design is boldly struck with no legend, relying entirely on symbolic imagery associated with Venusia's maritime and civic iconography. The field is plain with no exergual line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Venusia — modern Venosa — was established as a Latin colony in 291 BC, planted by Rome on the border between Apulia and Lucania as a garrison point against the Samnites. By the time this teruncius was struck, the city had survived Hannibal's catastrophic victory at nearby Cannae in 216 BC, one of Rome's worst military disasters, after which many surrounding communities defected to Carthage. Venusia held. That loyalty, and the city's continued operation of a local bronze coinage into the early second century, reflects an autonomous civic identity Rome permitted among faithful allies.
