| Additional information |
Agrigentum, the old Sicilian city known to the Greeks as Akragas, retained the right to strike local bronze coinage well into the Augustan period — an administrative concession Rome granted to select provincial cities rather than a reflection of any monetary independence. Sicily's civic bronzes under Augustus were produced sporadically, often responding to local demand rather than any centralized minting schedule, which accounts for the considerable die variation seen across the CNS series for this type.
