Commentary


Légende avec l’ethnique complet. La chronologie de ce bronze n’est pas bien attestée et reste fluctuante. Au regard de la typologie, il est normal de le placer à la même période que l’hémidrachme entre 465 et 415 avant J.-C.

Historical background


SICILY - HIMERA

(5th century BC)

Himère, a Chalcidian colony, was founded by inhabitants of Zancle in 648 BC. The city was taken by Théron, tyrant of Agrigento in 482 BC, and its population deported. After the end of the "akragantine" domination in 472 BC, the city underwent significant economic development until its final destruction by the Carthaginian forces in 408 BC. Its population, which had counted up to 'to 40,000 inhabitants, then took refuge in Therma.
