Additional information

Ziz — the Punic name for Panormus, modern Palermo — operated as a mint under Roman supervision following the conclusion of the First Punic War, producing bronze coinage that navigated an awkward administrative middle ground: Roman authority, but Semitic tradition. The magistrate name Q. Mallius places this issue within the Roman quaestorian series for Sicily, where Roman officials oversaw local bronze production without fully displacing indigenous minting conventions.

CNS 120 is a relatively low-frequency type in documented collections.
