Abstract
La moneda griega como documento oficial de la polis que la acuña supone un soporte
para difundir un mensaje de la población a la que representa, mensaje que debe ser
comprensible tanto para el conjunto de la población local como para el resto de poblaciones a
las que pudiera llegar esa moneda. Desde esta premisa se pretende analizar el conjunto de
acuñaciones de Acragante previas al ataque cartaginés del 406 a.C. donde, además de
contabilizar un aumento considerable del número y volumen de sus acuñaciones, se puede
observar la aparición de un grupo nuevo de elementos iconográficos que pueden ser
interpretados como el intento de representación de un programa iconográfico en el que se
manifiesta el apoyo de las principales divinidades del panteón local ante el inminente ataque del
ejército cartaginés.
Greek coinage, as an official document from the polis which mints it, supposes a medium to spread a message from the population to whom it represents, message which must be understandable for the local population, in addition to the rest of towns where that coinage could arrive. From this premise, we expected to analyse the coinage from Akragas before the Carthaginian attack in 406 BC, where, in addition to a considerable increase in the number and volume of its coinage, it can also be observed the appearance of new iconographic elements in the coinage of Akragas which can be interpreted as the attempt of representation of an iconographic programme where it is expressed the support of the main deities from the local pantheon before the imminent attack of the Carthaginian army.
