	Demareteion Dekadrachms - Part Two
		B.V. Head, a pioneering researcher in Sicilian numismatics, interprets this device "to symbolize the vanquished naval power of the Tuscans, just as the lion which appears on Gelon's coins after the battle of Himera [the Demareteion dekadrachms] may symbolize the destruction of the African dominion in Sicily." 13.
		The coins maintained their fabric and general design types throughout this era, but the evolution of small details such as hairstyle, decorative adornment (jewelry and headbands) and exergual devices allows them to be placed in a relative chronology reflecting the transition of Greek art in general, from the Archaic to Classical periods.
		Gelon was a priest of Demeter; "pertaining to Demeter" in Greek is "Demetreion" or

	Demareteion Dekadrachms
		For Demarete at their request had contributed the greatest aid toward the conclusion of the peace, and when she had received the crown of one hundred gold talents from them, she struck a coin which was called from her a Demareteion.
		Despite the small size of gold coins (and the related likelihood of being lost), their increased propensity to be melted for other purposes, and the unpredictable vagaries of twenty four intervening centuries, I cannot accept that the entire series would vanish without a trace.
		Assuming that the dekadrachms come later than their counterparts with empty exergues, that the archaic pieces were first struck upon the accession of Gelon at Syracuse, and that they are indeed commemorative of the Carthaginian defeat at Himera, it is necessary to cram the entire archaic series into only seven years (485 to 479).

		Further, Hamilcar of Carthage, called in by the tyrants of Himera and Rhegion, counted upon the aid of Selinus against Theron of Akragas and Gelon of Syracuse in the Battle of Himera (480 BC).
		Hippokrates was succeeded by Gelon, who moved to Syracuse in 483 B.C. and defeated the Carthaginian army in the battle of Himera in 480 B.C. Under the rule of Gelon's successors, the Deinomenids, Gela's political importance declined although it remained an artistic and cultural center.

	Sicily
		Hippocrates died in 491/490 and was succeeded as tyrant of Gela by his adjutant Gelon, who conquered Syracuse and was now lord of almost every town in eastern Sicily: Gela and Syracuse of course, but also Camarina, Leontini, Catane, Naxos, and several towns of the Siculians.
		Yet, Gelon was an odd tyrant, because he collaborated with the rich people in his territorial state - tyrants usually found their supporters among the urban poor.
		One of the aims of the resettlement of people was to divide the opposition against the tyranny of Gelon and Hiero, but in the end, the people united and demanded their share in the political process.

	The Baldwin Project: Pyrrhus by Jacob Abbott
		When the period for this celebration recurred, after Pyrrhus's restoration to the throne, both Pyrrhus and Neoptolemus, each attended by his own particular followers and friends, repaired to the city where the celebration was to be held, and commenced the festivities.
		It appears that it was the custom for the kings to dispose of many of the presents which they received on these occasions from the people of the country, by giving them to their attendants and the officers of their households; and a certain cup-bearer, named Myrtilus, begged Pyrrhus to give these oxen to him.
		His office as cup-bearer would enable him, Gelon said, to execute such a design without difficulty or danger, and, by doing it, he would so commend himself to the regard of Neoptolemus, that he might rely on the most ample and abundant rewards.

		In these instances, W. argues that the decision among the contestants turns on, not who has the most dunamis, but on dignity: "the Greeks in Herodotus settle hegemony on the basis of honor first; only when that is taken care of do they start to think prudently, in terms of power, strategy, and tactics" (13).
		For instance, in connection with Gelon's claim, "the case of the Athenian is especially clear, because he yields the hegemony to Sparta, which has fewer ships than Athens, but not to Gelon, who has the most of all" (8).

		The Greek researcher Herodotus of Halicarnassus (c.480 - c.425) is the author of the entertaining Histories, in which he describes the rise of the Achaemenid Empire and the conflict between the Greeks and Persians in 480.
		The complex first section can be summarized as follows: Gelon and his ally Theron of Acragas had been at war with Terillus of Himera and Anaxilaus of Rhegium; the latter had invited the Carthaginians.
		Hamilcar then having disappeared, whether it was in such a manner as this, as it is reported by the Phoenicians, or in some other way, the Carthaginians both offer sacrifices to him now, and also they made memorials of him then in all the cities of their colonies, and the greatest in Carthage itself.[3]
