| Aanvullende informatie |
Ameselon was a minor Sikel settlement in the interior of Sicily whose civic coinage exists in such small quantities that the city itself remained unlocated by scholars until relatively recently. The site is now tentatively identified near modern Mineo. Bronze issues of this type span a broad chronological window partly because the city's history under Syracusan, then Carthaginian, then Roman pressure left few datable anchors in the archaeological record.
CNS 4–5 represents some of the only physical evidence we have for Ameselon's autonomous civic life.
