| 背面描述 | Two divinities standing facing, each wearing a tall polos headdress and depicted in a frontal, hieratic stance with arms at their sides or joined. The figures are rendered in a stylized manner typical of late Hellenistic Sicilian bronze coinage. The circular Greek legend ΕΓΕΣΤΑΙΩΝ (of the Egestaians) surrounds the design, identifying the issuing city. The two figures are commonly associated with the Dioskouroi or local Elymian divinities venerated at Segesta. |

Segesta's willingness to side with Rome during the First Punic War set it apart from most Sicilian cities, and that loyalty was rewarded with protectorate status — a relationship this small bronze reflects directly. The city had long been at odds with its neighbor Selinus, and Roman alliance offered a practical solution to a century-old rivalry as much as any ideological alignment.
CNS 62 falls within a broad production window, which makes precise dating within that 160-year span difficult without die study.
