Coinage of Aesernia concerns coins minted in Aesernia, a city in Samnium (modern Isernia), where a Roman colony was created in 263 BC. The coins were minted around 263 to 240 B.C., after the colony was founded. Colonies under Latin law constituted state entities, with local magistrates, administrative autonomy and, in some cases, the right to mint coinage.
