Greek Italy. Lucania, Poseidonia-Paestum. AE 12 mm, c. 1st century BC. Obv. Jugate heads of the Dioscuri right within wreath. Rev. PÆ (to right). Filleted cornucopia. HN Italy -; HGC 1 -; Crawford, Paestum -; POSEIDONIA-PAESTUM E LA SUA MONETA - R. Cantilena, F.Carbone, page 88. 3.19 g. 12 mm. RRRR. Of the highest rarity. Deep green patina. Good VF. Historically significant triens of Paestum, likely minted under Quintus Laurius. This rare specimen represents a pivotal transition in the city's coinage, bridging earlier and later triens designs. The Dioscuri/cornucopia motif demonstrates the final use of this iconic type before its abandonment. Part of a broader series including semisses and sextantes, some bearing quinquennial magistrate inscriptions. Its unique status offers invaluable insights into Paestum's late Republican monetary and administrative practices. Corroborating epigraphic evidence dates to early 1st century BCE, enhancing the coin's historical context.
