| 附加信息 |
Menainon, located in the interior of Sicily near modern Mineo, was a Sikel settlement that transitioned through Carthaginian and then Roman influence during the third century BC. By the time this bronze was struck, the city had lost whatever political autonomy it once held — these late Sicilian civic bronzes were largely fiduciary issues permitted under Roman provincial tolerance rather than expressions of independent authority. The tetras denomination, worth three onkiai, was the workhorse of small Sicilian transactions.
