Commentary


Poids léger. D’après E. Montenegro, le sextans ainsi que les autres bronzes de cette série, as, semis, quadrans, sextans et once sont de la plus grande rareté et s’intègrent dans un étalon semi-libral de poids romain (livre de 324,72 g) et seraient antérieurs à 211 avant J.-C. Avec ce type d’objet monétiforme on peut indistinctement évoquer un monnayage romano-grec ou gréco-romain.

Historical background


UMBRIA

(3rd century BC)

Geographically, Umbria corresponds to the region of central Italy, crossed by the Tiber, formed by the provinces of Perugia and Terni, corresponding to the ancient cities of Ameria (Amelia), Arminium, Iguvium (Gubbio) and Tuder (Todi). These cities are famous for their cast coins, made between the first and the second Punic wars.
