| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded male head, likely Herakles, in right profile, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the beast's jaws framing the face; the knotted forepaws are visible across the neck and chest. A single pellet, serving as the value mark for the uncia, appears to the right in the field. The entire design is contained within a border of small dots. The style is characteristic of South Italian bronze coinage of the Second Punic War period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Venusia — modern Venosa in Basilicata — was planted as a Roman colony in 291 BC specifically to anchor Roman control over the Samnites following the Third Samnite War. The colony's right to strike its own bronze coinage was not indefinite; this uncia falls within a narrow window of local mint activity that effectively ceased as Rome consolidated monetary production in the second century BC. Venusia is also the birthplace of Horace, though that has no bearing on the coin.
