| Additional information |
Ameselon was a minor Sikel settlement in the interior of Sicily whose civic coinage is poorly documented and whose very location remains disputed among archaeologists — most place it somewhere in the Enna hinterland, but no confirmed site has been excavated. The CNAI classification reflects ongoing efforts to systematize the island's non-Greek municipal bronzes, a category long neglected in favor of the more glamorous Syracusan and Carthaginian series. The date range spanning nearly 160 years likely reflects scholarly uncertainty rather than continuous minting activity at a single authority.
