Ancient Coins (other than Roman) from Italy including Magna Graecia in the Forum Ancient Coins shop
There are only three towns which issued coins: Ariminum, Iguvium, and Tuder.
Ariminum (Rimini). The money of this town is of the rudest possible style and execution. It is distinguished by its type, the head of a Gaulish warrior wearing the national torques round his neck, recalling the fact that the Senones, a Gaulish tribe, after expelling the Etruscans, made themselves masters of Ariminum early in the fourth century. About B.C. 268 the Romans sent a Latin colony to Ariminum (Liv. xv. 8), but the aes grave is probably not much later than circ. B.C. 300. [1]

The following large oblong Bars have also been attributed to Ariminum. Haeberlin, however (op. cit., p. 67), gives reasons for supposing them to have been cast by Rome at her Capuan mint, circ. B.C. 312-286 (see infra, p. 25). They weigh about 1,620 grm. = 25,000 grs.

1 Lenormant (La Monnaie dans l'Antiquitι, 1863, p. 113), differing from Mommsen, assigns the aes grave of Ariminum to the time of the alliance between Gauls, Etruscans, Samnites, and Umbrians, which was crushed by the Romans at the battle of Sentinum, B.C. 295.
