Centuripae, the ancient Sicilian city known to the Greeks as Kentoripa, was among the most prosperous municipia on the island under Roman administration, yet its autonomous bronze issues were brief and small in scale. This tiny piece belongs to a municipal coinage that effectively ends with the Republican period — Augustus's reorganization of Sicily curtailed local bronze production across most Sicilian cities.
RPC I 667 is catalogued with very few recorded specimens.
