背面描述	Nike, the winged goddess of victory, depicted in dynamic flight to the left, her large spread wings prominent behind her draped figure. She wears a chiton with finely rendered flowing drapery. Her outstretched right arm holds an aphlaston, the ornamental stern ornament taken as a naval trophy, rendered in the energetic style characteristic of Himera's late classical bronze issues. The field is plain, with no inscription or additional devices.

附加信息	Himera's coinage in bronze begins relatively late compared to other Sicilian mints, and the tetras — worth three onkiai — belongs to a civic output that was abruptly and permanently ended in 409 BC when the Carthaginian general Hannibal Mago razed the city in revenge for his grandfather Hamilcar's death at the Battle of Himera in 480 BC. The destruction was total. No further coins were struck at Himera after that date because there was no Himera left to strike them.
