Didrachm

正面描述	A hound standing to right upon a plain ground line, depicted with naturalistic detail characteristic of Sicilian die-cutters of the late fifth century BC. A small female head in profile to right appears above the animal's back in the upper field, rendered in fine archaic style. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border following the irregular coin flan.

附加信息	Segesta's coinage of this period reflects the city's urgent diplomatic maneuvering rather than any settled civic confidence. In 415 BC, the Segestans had famously exaggerated their wealth to Athenian envoys, helping trigger the catastrophic Sicilian Expedition — a miscalculation that ended with the near-total destruction of the Athenian fleet in Syracuse harbor by 413 BC. These didrachms fall in the immediate aftermath, when Segesta, now exposed and vulnerable, pivoted sharply toward Carthage for protection, a relationship that would define the western Sicilian political order for generations. Hurter's die study remains the essential reference; H9 is among the less common die pairings in the sequence.
