Hexas

Akragas was among the wealthiest poleis in the ancient world during this period, its prosperity built on sulfur trade and olive oil exports through its strategically positioned southern Sicilian harbor. The hexas — worth two onkiai, one-sixth of a litra — was the workhorse denomination of everyday Sicilian bronze coinage, though Akragas came relatively late to bronze currency, having long preferred silver for nearly all transactions.

This issue predates the catastrophic Carthaginian sack of 406 BC, which ended Akragantine civic independence for a generation and halted the mint entirely.
