Lot # 6 - Greek Italy. Picenum. Ancona. AE 20.5 mm. c. 300-250 BC. D/ Wreathed head of Aphrodite right. R/ Right arm, holding palm branch,. Campana 1; HN Italy 1; HGC 1 1. AE. 8.6 g. 20.5 mm. RRR. Extremely rare, the only issue of this mint. VF. The name of Ancona derives from the Greek ankṓn (ἀγκών), meaning “elbow” or “bend”. This designation was given by Greek settlers, likely from Syracuse in the 4th century BC, in reference to the distinctive shape of the promontory on which the city stands. The headland projects into the Adriatic Sea, forming a pronounced natural bay that resembles the bend of an arm. This geographical feature provided a well-sheltered harbor, making Ancona an important maritime site since antiquity. The city’s name thus directly reflects its physical and topographical character.

The presence of coins of this issue in the Morino hoard (IGCH 1995 = Crawford, RRCH 54) and in the Italy, 1862 hoard (IGCH 2005 = Crawford, RRCH 28) buried c. 240-230, shows that they circulated in worn condition beside the ROMANO issues. It seems likely that the Poullos whose name is on this issue is the father of the Dazos who defected to Annibal. The change of ethnic to a genitive singular seems to have occurred just before the First Punic War (HN Italy p. 77).
