Zeus Bruttium, NO RESERVE

Bronze Unit/Drachm

BRUTTIUM The Brettii Separated from HN Italy 1994 (c. 211–208 BC) by the cornucopiae in the left field, where that issue carries a plough, and by the eagle’s head turned forward rather than back.

The eagle standing on a thunderbolt joins the bird and the weapon of Zeus, a Hellenistic emblem of sovereign power. The Brettii, a confederation of Bruttian peoples, took it for the federal coinage they struck during their alliance with Hannibal.

Check out my other auctions. I'll be running a good number of $1 starts with no reserve. In particular I will be running other Syracuse Greek bronzes of Sicily.
