| Additional information |
Terina was a Greek colony on the Tyrrhenian coast of Bruttium, founded by Croton around 480 BC, and its coinage reflects a city that punched well above its political weight. The staters attributed to HN Italy 2593 belong to the city's second coinage phase, a period when Terina was producing some of the most technically accomplished silver in Magna Graecia — work now attributed to engravers operating in close proximity to the Syracusan school.
The city was destroyed by Hannibal around 204 BC, its population relocated, and no subsequent coinage was struck. That finality means the entire corpus is fixed and finite.
