| Aanvullende informatie |
Hieron II ruled Syracuse for over half a century after maneuvering brilliantly between Carthage and Rome, eventually securing a treaty with Rome in 263 BC that left him as a client king — one of the few Sicilian rulers to die in his bed during that catastrophic period. His bronze coinage functioned across a monetary system that supplied one of the ancient Mediterranean's most productive agricultural economies. The trichalkon represents the smallest practical denomination in that hierarchy.
Syracuse fell to Marcellus in 212 BC, four years after Hieron's death ended the alliance.
