These pieces are attributed to the Kersini because they were found with other coins carrying the inscription KERSINON; both types of coins come from the area of the modern-day St. Caterina Villarmosa. The Kersini were most likely a group of Campanian mercenaries employed by one of the Syracusan tyrants of the 5th-4th Century BC, who were given some land or municipality once their service was complete.
