背面描述	Bearded male head of the river-god Herbessos facing right, wearing a taenia bound across the forehead, with wild, voluminous hair and a full beard rendered in deeply engraved curling locks typical of Sicilian river-god iconography. The robust and expressive portraiture reflects the artistic conventions of the Timoleontic period in Sicily. The ethnic legend EPBHΣΣOΣ appears in the field, identifying the issuing community.

附加信息	Herbessos was a Sicel settlement in the interior of Sicily whose precise location remains disputed — most scholars place it near modern Ramacca in the province of Catania. The city issued coinage only briefly, and this litra falls within the period when Timoleon of Corinth was systematically dismantling Carthaginian and tyrant power across the island, restoring a degree of autonomy to indigenous Sicel communities that enabled small civic coinages like this one to appear at all. Campana 1 is the sole recorded type for the issuer, making die-matching to known specimens the only meaningful way to assess relative rarity within the series.
