背面描述	Eagle standing left with wings spread, perched upon a thunderbolt displayed diagonally across the lower field, a common Sicilian Greek type evoking the authority of Zeus. A value mark consisting of vertical strokes appears to the left of the eagle. The ethnic legend TAYPOMENITAN is arranged around the periphery of the flan in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Tauromenion. The composition is vigorous and well-centred, typical of Sicilian bronze coinage of the late third century BC.

附加信息	Tauromenion — modern Taormina — enjoyed an unusual degree of autonomy during the Second Punic War, navigating carefully between Roman authority and the chaos engulfing Sicily after Hieronymus of Syracuse broke with Rome in 215 BC. This small bronze issue falls within that turbulent window, when many Sicilian mints were operating intermittently or under pressure. The CNS attribution places it firmly within a civic bronze series that continued even as Roman consolidation of the island tightened through the early decades of the second century.
