Historical Context: The 12 Litrai silver issue of Syracuse (214-212 BC) marks a pivotal, tragic era. After Hieron II's death, Syracuse re-established as the 'Fifth Democracy'. Caught in the Second Punic War, the city faced a relentless Roman siege under Marcellus. This coinage financed its desperate defense, serving as a poignant numismatic testament to Syracuse's final struggle for independence. Its production ceased with the city's fall to Rome in 212 BC, ending its autonomy.
Artistry: Engravers for this late Hellenistic period are anonymous, yet the 12 Litrai's artistry upholds Syracuse's renowned numismatic tradition
