Abstract
The coinage of the Bruttii has been the subject of several studies whose results contradict one another so strongly that a fresh discussion seems justified. Barclay Head placed it between 282 and 203 BC, because its types depend on the issues of King Pyrrhus and so cannot predate his landing in Italy, and because after Hannibal's withdrawal the Romans destroyed the political existence of the Bruttii; how the activity of the mints is distributed within that span remained open. In 1921 Kurt Regling assigned the bulk to the time of the Pyrrhic war and held gold coinage under Roman overlordship to be unthinkable, while Walther Giesecke redistributed the material in 1928. The paper treats the early series, the issues of reduced standard in silver, gold and bronze, and the bronzes struck for the Lucanians.
