| Additional information |
Terina was a Greek colony on the Tyrrhenian coast of Bruttium, founded by Croton in the late sixth century, and its coinage is among the most admired in the western Greek world for the quality of its die engraving. The city was destroyed by Hannibal around 204 BC — its population forcibly relocated — and never reoccupied, meaning the entire civic coinage series ends abruptly with the Second Punic War.
The Regling corpus, published in 1927, remains the foundational die study for this series. HN Italy 2613 places this stater within the mature classical phase of Terinaean production, a period when the city's engravers were working in close stylistic dialogue with contemporaneous Syracusan coinages.
