| Additional information |
Kentoripai — ancient Centuripe, in Sicily's interior — struck bronze coinage during a narrow window when the city navigated shifting allegiances between Carthage and Rome in the Second Punic War. These issues likely reflect a brief period of autonomous civic minting that ended once Roman control over the island consolidated after Marcellus's reduction of Syracuse in 212 BC and the subsequent pacification of Sicilian holdouts. The dating range places production squarely in that unstable aftermath, when local bronzes still circulated alongside Roman and Syracusan issues.
