306 Unitas is a typical Main belt asteroid. It is classified as an S-type asteroid.
It was discovered by Elia Millosevich on March 1, 1891 in Rome. It was second of his two asteroid discoveries. The other was 303 Josephina.
Although 306 Unitas has an orbit similar to the Vesta family asteroids, it was found to be an unrelated interloper on the basis of its non-matching spectral type.
