| Aanvullende informatie |
Petelia, a Bruttian town of Oscan origin, earned an outsized place in the Second Punic War by refusing to surrender to Hannibal after the catastrophe at Cannae in 216 BC — holding out for an extraordinary eleven months before finally capitulating, reportedly only after sending envoys to Rome begging for relief and receiving none. The town's bronze coinage from this precise window reflects a community still functioning under siege conditions, making even routine civic issues from this period historically loaded.
