| 裏面の説明 | A hound depicted in full stride to the right, its body rendered with schematic musculature typical of small Sicilian bronze issues. Above the dog, a crescent moon is positioned in the upper field. Below the animal, the abbreviated Greek ethnic legend ΣΕΓ appears in the field, referencing the city of Segesta. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

Segesta's alignment with Rome during the Second Punic War proved a calculated survival move. When Carthaginian forces swept through Sicily, Segesta — always an outsider among the island's Greek cities due to its Elymian roots — declared early for Rome and was rewarded with protected status. This small bronze belongs to the municipal coinage produced under that arrangement, struck as Roman authority consolidated across Sicily following the fall of Syracuse in 212 BC.
The Elymians claimed Trojan descent, a mythology Romans found politically convenient and never discouraged.
