| Additional information |
Kamarina was razed by Timoleon's forces around 339 BC following his campaign to expel Carthaginian influence and tyranny from Sicily, then refounded and resettled with new colonists. This tetras belongs to the civic bronze coinage struck under that resettlement — a community literally rebuilding its monetary infrastructure from nothing. The city never fully recovered its classical-era prominence and was destroyed again by the Carthaginians in 258 BC, making the window for this issue narrow.
