Tetras/Trionkion

Akragas was among the wealthiest poleis in the Greek world during this period, its prosperity built on olive oil exports and a strategic position on Sicily's southern coast. The city's bronze coinage served local market exchange that silver fractions couldn't efficiently handle. Production of civic bronze came to an abrupt end with the Carthaginian sack of 406 BC — one of the most thorough destructions of any Greek city in Sicily — after which the population was carried off and the mint fell silent for decades.
