| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Asklepios facing right, rendered in profile with characteristic bearded features and flowing hair beneath a laurel wreath. The portrait displays the mature, dignified style typical of late Syracusan bronze coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with the hammered technique of the period. No legend appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
212 BC marks the Roman sack of Syracuse — the city fell after a two-year siege conducted by Marcus Claudius Marcellus, delayed famously by Archimedes' war machines. Bronze coinage continued briefly under Roman occupation as the city transitioned from a Hellenistic kingdom to a provincial subject, and these small issues represent that administratively awkward interval when the old civic mint was still functioning under new military authority.
