| Additional information |
Terina was a Greek colony on the western coast of Bruttium, founded by settlers from Croton around 480 BC. The city's coinage is among the most technically refined of the western Greek world — the nomos series in particular attracted engravers of exceptional skill, and several dies are attributed with confidence to artists also working at Syracuse and Thurium. The city was destroyed by Hannibal around 204 BC, who reportedly dispersed the population and demolished the site to prevent Roman use of it.
HN Italy 2628 falls within the mature phase of Terinian coinage, when die-cutting reached its apogee before the city's political decline in the later fourth century.
