The analysis of the edge of the coins has revealed the constant presence of microglyphs on the surface of each cut: this has shown that the indentation was performed on the roundel, before minting, through the use of a mechanical system. Recently, serratos have been studied in their physical and microstructural properties. Later it has been hypothesized that they would have had a religious destination, or that there would have been a connection with the marks of value on the obverse, and finally that the serration would have been made for a simple aesthetic value.

Tra i suoi abitanti illustri, va ricordato Archimede, matematico antico siracusano che con le sue geniali invenzioni e scoperte diede il suo contributo fondamentale al corso della storia scientifica.
