Mercenari italici in viaggio verso l’entroterra della Sicilia? Il contributo delle evidenze numismatiche e archeologiche

2014

The subject of the contribution is the analysis of a series of numismatic evidences, coming from Amorella, Monte Raffe, Castellazzo di Marianopoli, Santa Caterina di Villarmosa, through which it is possible to observe how, from the mid-4th century BC, the hinterland had become a veritable enclave of mercenaries. These are allogeneic groups, who presumably arrived in Sicily from the Italian peninsula to serve as soldiers in the ranks of the Dionysian armies, and were subsequently exhorted or chose to settle permanently in the indigenous communities of the interior
