| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle stands left, wings partially spread, perched upon a thunderbolt rendered in stylized form beneath its talons, alluding to Zeus as divine patron. A lyre appears to the left of the eagle in the field, serving as a secondary symbol and cultural emblem of the Bruttian people. The ethnic legend BΡETTIΩN is distributed around the field in Greek characters, enclosed within a beaded border. The composition combines Hellenistic religious iconography with distinctly local numismatic symbolism, consistent with Bruttian coinage of the Second Punic War period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Brettii — the Bruttian league of southern Italy — struck this issue during the closing years of their alliance with Hannibal, a partnership that had made them Rome's most committed Italian enemy after Cannae. By 203 BC, with Scipio pressing Carthage in Africa and Roman legions methodically reclaiming the south, Bruttium was effectively finished as an independent political force. Rome's retribution after 202 BC was severe: mass enslavement, land confiscation, and the reduction of the Bruttii to a servile class barred from military service. Coins from this terminal phase are among the last artifacts of a people Rome chose to erase rather than absorb.
