附加信息	The Brettii — a Samnite-related people of Bruttium in the toe of Italy — issued coinage during their alliance with Hannibal following Rome's catastrophic defeat at Cannae in 216 BC. This didrachm falls within the brief window when Carthaginian presence in southern Italy gave the Brettii both the political cover and the economic need to mint aggressively, partly to pay troops and partly to assert autonomy from Rome. Their coinage program collapsed when Carthaginian fortunes reversed and Roman reprisals rendered further independence impossible.
