[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 2275196, member: 5682"]Sorry for the "bump up" of this post, but I found this interesting information while researching Oscan, the language of many of the allies during the Socal War, from Wikipedia: Coinage of the Social War: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinage_of_the_Social_War_(91–88_BC[/url]) [I]Some of the iconographic themes were original, while others were borrowed from the Roman coinage. When borrowed, the themes acquired new meanings or resonances. For example, the heads on the obverse was usually a personification of Italia depicted as a goddess with a helmet, which replaced the head of Rome, accompanied by a legend reproducing his name, ITALIA, in the Latin alphabet or VITELIU (víteliú = Italia) in Oscan alphabet (there is a unique copy, actually in the de Blacas collection, known to report the double LVITELLIU [vítelliú]). [/I] [SIZE=4][B][I]Inscriptions[/I][/B][/SIZE] [I]The inscriptions were partly in Oscan and partly in Latin characters. The pieces were struck by a central mint with two different and simultaneous issues, one for the Oscan-speaking and one for the Latin-speaking citizens.
