AGATHOCLES AND THE COINAGE OF MAGNA GEAECIA. 5These copper coins must have been struck betweenthe years 294 and 289 B.C. They have points of strongresemblance with the contemporary Syracusan pieces.Artemis and Pallas are each called ZQTEIPA at Syracuseand Hipponium respectively. In both cities we meetDoric forms KOPAZ and NIKA, and the same trophy occursas symbol on the coins of both. The head of Pallas withthe griffin on the Corinthian helmet is a direct copy ofAgathocles' " Pegasi."We know from history that the tyrant actually heldHipponium and Croton with garrisons. Strangelyenough he has, so far as we know, left no mark on thecoinage of the latter place.From a study of the coinswe are able to supplement our scanty knowledge and tosay that in all probability Agathocles, whether as suzerainor ally, has left his mark on the coins of three othercities, at least, viz.Terina, Metapontum, and Velia.TERINA.Obv.
