Kraay, Bronze, p. 31, 4b.
Interesting fact
The Trias coin from Himera (Sicily) is interesting because it features a rare image of a hoplite (a heavily armored Greek foot soldier) on one side, and a wheat ear on the other. This suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency during a time of military conflict, and also highlights the importance of agriculture in the region.
