| Additional information |
Manius Acilius Glabrio served as a Roman magistrate overseeing coinage in Sicily during the Second Punic War's final phase, when Roman administrative control over Sicilian minting was consolidating rapidly following the fall of Syracuse in 212 BC. The issuing city remains unidentified — a problem not unique to this type, as Roman-period Sicilian bronzes circulated widely enough that provenance attribution is genuinely difficult even with die studies.
The HGC 2 attribution places it among a loosely grouped series of magistrate-signed Sicilian issues whose civic origins are still debated in specialist literature.
