Fonti storiche e fonti numismatiche a confronto nella Sicilia centro-meridionale della fine del V sec. a.C.
2006
The historical events that involved Sicily at the end of the 5th century BC find a precise description in the X-XIII books of Diodorus Siculus. The numismatic testimonies from the territory of central-southern Sicily, in addition to confirming what has been illustrated by the historian of Agira, integrate and enrich the information, adding data for the same period relating above all to the indigenous centres, neglected by the sources.
Rinvenimenti monetali dall’area centro-meridionale della Sicilia
2007
Object of the contribution are the Roman coins found in central-southern Sicily. These are few specimens, almost always found in an isolated state and rarely known with the context of discovery, which, however, allow us to advance some reflections concerning the occupation of the territory. In particular, numismatic evidence from Gela would seem to suggest that the city continued to be frequented even after its destruction in 282 BC.
