Otherwise, Good Very Fine. Ex Jesus Vico 159, 20 July 2021, lot 368. From the Guadan Collection n.1728. The location of the main Carthaginian mint in Sicily identified by Punic inscription as "People of the Camp" has long been a matter of conjecture and dispute. Recent researches suggest the "People of the Camp" mint to have been Entella, a fortress-like city located in central-west Sicily. The Siculo-Punic coinage of Entella seems to have been intended mainly to pay mercenary soldiers who were used to being paid in Greek coin, as the silver tetradrachms adhere closely to the Attic weight standard.

HGC 2, 308 (same reverse die). Toned with beautiful iridescent patina. Near Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare, very few specimens known. Ex Gorny & Mosch 215, 14 October 2013, lot 682. From the 5th century BC until the First Punic War the Elymian city of Eryx along with its ally Segesta remained under Carthaginian rule, except for a brief interlude in 398 BC when Eryx was conquered by Dionysios I. When the disputes between Segesta and Selinos intensified around 420 BC, the two Elymian cities minted considerable quantities of didrachms with the same types to pay the mercenaries who regularly formed the armies of the ancient Sicilian cities. On several occasions, the coins of both cities bear the hand of the same engravers. Segesta's production of these didrachms was far greater than that of Eryx. An example of the collaboration between engravers can be seen in Hurter's table 17, no. 195, where the dog is plastically identical in appearance to our coin, except that it faces right and has a different legend.
