SICILY, Syracuse Timoleon Third Democracy

SICILY Syracuse Timoleon

AE Dilitron

Several dealers miscite this as HGC 6, 1439; Sicilian issues are in HGC volume 2 (HGC 2, 1439). The reverse horse is described as rearing, galloping, or prancing across catalogues.

Timoleon was sent from Corinth in 344 BC, deposed Dionysios II, and defeated a far larger Carthaginian army at the river Crimisus in 341 BC. The obverse legend names Zeus the Liberator.
