Æ23 - Augustus SISENNA PR COS L STATIVS FLACCVS P COTTA BA IIVIR

Agrigentum's civic coinage under Augustus was administered locally by appointed magistrates, and this piece names four of them — Sisenna, Statius Flaccus, P. Cotta, and a figure recorded only as BA — an unusually crowded magistrate formula that suggests either a collegiate board or a single exceptional issue requiring extraordinary authorization. The PR COS in Sisenna's title points to a proconsular appointment, placing this coin within the narrow administrative machinery Rome used to manage Sicilian municipalities without stripping them of the appearance of self-governance.

Sicily had been a Roman province since 241 BC, but Agrigentum retained enough civic identity to produce locally struck bronze well into the Augustan period. CNS 40 is among the later attestations of that tradition.
