| 背面描述 | A quadruped, most likely a boar or pig, depicted in profile walking to the left with all four legs rendered in motion. The animal's body is shown with characteristic schematic musculature typical of Central Italian aes grave and cast bronze coinage of the third century BC. The field is plain and bears no legend or mintmark. The casting is irregular at the flan edges, a common feature of this series. |

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — this series has been variously assigned to Luceria, Venusia, and unnamed Samnite communities without consensus. The references converge on the third century BC, a period when Rome's expanding confederation pressed allied and semi-independent towns to produce their own bronze currency, often imitating Roman aes grave modules while retaining local identity markers that remain frustratingly ambiguous to modern attributors.
Haeberlin's 1910 corpus, still foundational for aes grave scholarship, placed related material at p.173 without resolving the mint question.
