Triobol

Terina was a Greek colony on the western coast of Bruttium, founded by Croton in the late sixth century BC. The city's coinage — particularly its staters — is celebrated among scholars of Magna Graecia for the exceptional quality of its die engravers, whose work ranks among the finest of the period. This small fractional piece belongs to the same prolific workshop responsible for that output, struck during decades when Terina maintained enough commercial independence to sustain a full denominational range. The city was ultimately destroyed by Hannibal around 204 BC, and its coinage series ends well before that point.
