Morgantina's civic coinage belongs to a city whose Greek identity was violently interrupted. In 211 BC the Romans sacked Morgantina and handed it to Spanish mercenaries who had fought for Scipio — an unusual settlement that effectively ended its Sikel-Greek urban character. The hexas, struck generations before that end, reflects a moment when the city still operated as a functioning polis with enough commercial confidence to produce fractional bronze for local exchange.
The hexas denomination represents two twelfths of an as in the Sicilian bronze system — a genuinely small unit, produced for real everyday transactions rather than prestige.
