Enna - Coinage

Coinage

There exist coins of Enna under the Roman dominion, with the legend "MUN. (Municipium) HENNA" thus confirming the authority of Cicero, all the best manuscripts of which have the aspirated form of the name. The most ancient Greek coin of the city also gives the name "ΗΕΝΝΑΙΟΝ" there is therefore little doubt that this form (Henna) of the ancient name is the more correct, though Enna is the more usual.
