Didrachm

正面描述	Head of the local nymph Segesta facing left, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style with elaborately striated hair swept back and gathered behind the neck, wearing a small pendant earring. The facial features are delicately modeled with a straight nose and subtly parted lips. The ethnic legend ΣΕΓΕΣΤΑΖΙΒ is partially distributed around the periphery of the field.

附加信息	Segesta was not a Greek city. Elymian in origin, it spent much of the fifth century locked in a cycle of conflict with the neighboring Greek colony of Selinous, and it was precisely this rivalry that drew Athens into the catastrophic Sicilian Expedition of 415–413 BC — an intervention Segesta had actively lobbied for with a famously deceptive display of wealth. This didrachm falls in the decade immediately following that Athenian disaster, when the city was scrambling to secure new alliances and reassert itself amid a Sicily reshaped by Carthaginian intervention. The timing matters for the coinage. Carthage sacked Selinous in 409 BC and Himera shortly after, fundamentally altering the balance of power in western Sicily in Segesta's favor.
