Comments

Hurter, p. 46, argues that this hybrid coin with a secondary Punic ethnic obliterating the Segestan one was actually issued by the mint of Panormos. However, the dies are from Segesta. Therefore Ch. Boehringer, JNG 59 (2009), p. 237, and K. Rutter, SNR 88 (2009), pp. 25-39, prefer Segesta instead.
