Historical Notes:
Part of a large issue struck during the Social War (91-88 BC), when a group of Italian cities and tribes came together to wage war against the Roman Republic. It took massive resources and great effort to quell the uprising, and the quantity of coins struck at Rome reflected the demands placed on the economy to pay the Republic's troops.
