Coinage of Suessa

The coinage of Suessa concerns coins minted in Suessa, a city in ancient Campania (today's Sessa Aurunca) inhabited by the Aurunci, an ancient Italic population. The city minted coins in the period between 268 B.C. and the Second Punic War.

The coins of Suessa are part of those issued by colonies and allies of Rome in an area centered around ancient Campania; after the Second Punic War Suessa, like most of the centers of Roman Italy, no longer minted its own coins and adopted Roman coinage, centered on the denarius.

Numismatists traditionally treat Suessan coins as part of Greek coinage.^[1]
