Mytistratos

[coins] [Area VIII map] [Area VIII list]
Mytistratos was probably near Marianopoli (formerly identified with Mistretta).
Mercenaries probably from Lucania (from an area under the influece of Metapontum).
Conquered and destroyed by the Romans.
The coins restruck on Dionysian drachms are probably hemilitrons (according to 
Cammarata obols).
The dramatically reduction from drachm to hemilitron was probably caused by the scarse resources of the site and its isolation after Dionysios' death.
