| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhegion's bronze coinage of this period reflects the city's precarious position during the Second Punic War and its aftermath — firmly allied with Rome, the city survived Hannibal's campaigns intact while much of Bruttium was devastated by shifting loyalties and retaliatory Roman pacification. The pentonkion denomination, worth five unciae, was part of a bronze fractional system adapted from the earlier Sicilian and South Italian weight standards rather than the Roman libral system, placing Rhegion's monetary identity closer to its Greek colonial roots than to its Roman allies.
