SICILY, THE TYRRHENOI, 357-336 BC AE31 litra, 29.70 grms. In 384 Dionysius I of Syracuse raided Pyrgi on the south coast of Etruria and took a contingent of Etruscan soldiers, which had surrendered, back to Sicily. He may have settled them near the present Alimena, close to the settlement of the Sileroi, where they struck coins naming themselves as the Tyrrhenoi. This mint ceased to overstrike Syracusean drachmae when these mercenaries were wiped out by Timoleaon in 339/8.
