| Additional information |
Katane's bronze coinage of this period falls within the final decades before the city's absorption into the expanding Roman provincial apparatus following the Second Punic War. Sicily had been Rome's first overseas province since 241 BC, and municipally-issued bronzes like this one continued circulating through the transition, filling a practical gap that Roman coinage had not yet moved to address at the local level.
