Early Roman coinage is kinda funny, some of the earlier coins were minted in Campania as Rome lacked a proper mint but seemingly was only used for outside affairs and not within the city. Romans started minting more when they had to start paying the socii but
It was still kind of a backwater compared to the eastern Mediterranean though, Rome didn't even mint coinage until then and its exchange was all done with bronze bars.

I find Rome at the time of the Pyrrhic war fascinating because Romans themselves loved to pretend they were some humble backwater when it had a population of 90,000 within the city, the largest temples on it's side of the Mediterranean and a massive art industry.
