| Additional information |
Katane passed through Roman hands following the First Punic War, becoming part of the province of Sicily in 241 BC. The city retained limited civic minting rights under Roman administration, and this bronze issue falls within that supervised autonomy — a period when Sicilian cities could produce small bronze for local exchange but exercised no independent monetary policy. The heavy catalogue referencing across BMC, CNS, and multiple SNG volumes reflects how thoroughly this type has been studied, yet the precise magistrate responsible for the issue remains unidentified.
