Nomos - Ey-, Phi- and Tistiar

By the 270s BC, Tarentum's role as the dominant Greek city in southern Italy was effectively over. The city had invited Pyrrhus of Epirus to fight Rome on its behalf, and when that gamble failed, Roman hegemony over the region was settled. This nomos was struck in the decades immediately following — a period when Tarentum retained its mint but operated increasingly under Roman shadow, its silver coinage continuing largely through commercial habit rather than political independence.

The magistrate names Ey-, Phi-, and Tistiar link Vlasto 842–844 as a coherent sequence within HN Italy 1026, a grouping that has helped scholars reconstruct the late Tarentine magistrate series with some confidence.
