Historical background


SICILY - SYRACUSE

(317-289 BC)

Agathokles, King of Syracuse

Agathokles had seized power in Syracuse in 317 BC and had taken the title of king in 305 BC. In 310, the tyrant invaded North Africa and attacked Carthage, but he was defeated in 307 and had to retire to Sicily. Peace, signed the following year with the hereditary enemy, consecrates the hegemony of Agathokles over all Sicily.
