背面描述	The reverse displays the large value mark XIIΠ in bold, incuse-style Greek numerals, denoting the denomination of seven chalkoi. Above the value mark, the ethnic legend ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ is inscribed in Greek characters across the upper field. The lettering is coarsely executed, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this wartime civic issue.

附加信息	These small bronzes fall within the final years of Hiero II's reign and the turbulent succession that followed — Syracuse had maintained careful neutrality between Rome and Carthage for decades, but after Hiero's death in 215 BC, his grandson Hieronymus almost immediately defected to Hannibal following the Roman catastrophe at Cannae. Roman forces under Marcellus besieged the city beginning in 214 BC, a siege that lasted nearly three years and ended with the sack of 212 BC. Coins of this fractional denomination circulating through those years were produced under a government that knew its political calculus had fundamentally shifted.
