Comment
The attribution of this type being from Praeneste is based solely on the spot-finds.Interesting fact
The coin , the Standard circulation coin 1 As (Without symbol; dagger right) from Praeneste (Latium) made of Bronze weighing 266.85g, is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the Roman Republic. It was minted during the period of 275 BC to 225 BC, which was a time of significant political and military change in Rome, as the Republic was expanding its territories and facing challenges from neighboring civilizations. The coin's design, featuring a dagger on the right side, is a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
