Tetras

Himera's coinage in bronze begins relatively late compared to other Sicilian mints, and the tetras — worth three onkiai — belongs to a civic output that was abruptly and permanently ended in 409 BC when the Carthaginian general Hannibal Mago razed the city in revenge for his grandfather Hamilcar's death at the Battle of Himera in 480 BC. The destruction was total. No further coins were struck at Himera after that date because there was no Himera left to strike them.
