Æ19

Alaisa Archonidea was a Sikeliot city on Sicily's northern coast, refounded by the Sikel leader Archonides of Herbita around 403 BC and granted notable privileges by Rome following its early submission during the First Punic War. The city's coinage is sparse by any measure, and this bronze belongs to a municipal series produced in the final phase of that conflict — precisely when Alaisa's political alignment with Rome was consolidating its unusual degree of civic autonomy among Sicilian communities.

The Buceti reference places this piece within a small, well-documented hoard corpus from the northeastern Sicilian interior.
