| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing facing with spread wings, grasping a serpent or thunderbolt in its talons at centre; the bird is depicted frontally in a heraldic pose typical of southern Italian Greek civic bronzes. A partial Greek legend reading ΠΕΤΗ appears in the upper field, with the remainder of the ethnic ΛΙΝΩΝ continuing around the periphery, identifying the issuing community of Petelia. The overall composition is characteristic of Bruttian municipal coinage of the Hellenistic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Petelia, a Bruttian town of Oscan origin, became one of Rome's most celebrated allies during the Second Punic War — holding out against Hannibal for an extraordinary length of time before finally capitulating, reportedly after sending envoys to Rome to beg for relief and receiving none. The town's loyalty was remembered; Livy mentions it specifically. This small bronze issue falls within the broad window of Petelia's autonomous coinage, struck before the Social War extinguished municipal minting across Italy in 89 BC.
