| Additional information |
Herakleia's silver nomoi of this period were struck under pressure from two directions simultaneously: the city had recently allied with Tarentum against Rome, and Pyrrhus of Epirus was about to land in Italy — an invasion that would reshape the entire southern peninsula. The magistrate name Aristodamos appears on a small cluster of dies, suggesting a brief but concentrated minting episode rather than a sustained production run.
The SNG ANS gap for this reference is telling. Genuinely scarce in major collections.
