Publica means public, -ommo- could be part of Commodus' name, -itas is a common ending of feminine nouns, but your citation must be incomplete, the phrase as you give it is nonsense.

If you think you have read that inscription on a coin, please show us the coin!

Hi folks,

Some Medieval Italy, Naples coins have that reverse also.

You can look through my website's Naples pages:

PUBLICA COMMODITAS (with C) means something like public convenience.
