The city stood on a summit overlooking the Belice valley. Records are scarce until the arrival of the Campanian mercenaries, recruited in 410 BC by the Carthaginians and discharged after the 405 BC treaty, then passed into the pay of Dionysius I of Syracuse. After liberating Dionysius on the island of Ortigia from the Punic siege, the were discharged with rich gifts and settled in various cities on the island. In 404 a group of these mercenaries seized Entella, exterminating the entire male population, and began to mint their own coinage. From then on they implemented a generally pro-Carthaginian policy and, in 398 B.C., were able to stop Syracusan siege attempts with the help of the Punic. The strategic location of the fortress of Entella was coveted for its control of the valley below, and this led to several siege attempts: in 345 it was attacked by the Carthaginians led by General Annon, then in 342 the city was taken by the Syracusans commanded by Timoleon, but in 338 it fell back under Punic influence. During the First Punic War the city was destroyed by the Carthaginians. The “Decrees of Entella,” which were requests for help engraved on bronze slabs, from the inhabitants to neighboring cities, date from this period. In 263 Entella was conquered by the Romans and enjoyed a new period of prosperity until the second century BC when it was abandoned. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 16.62 g.

Charioteer driving biga right. Controls: K above, tripod below.Le Rider pl. 81, 231 (D81/R182); SNG ANS 270 (same obv. die).In the Classical period throughout Greece silver coinage predominated, while gold was minted by a few cities. In Asia Minor electrum coins were still struck in three mints (Kyzikos, Mytilene and Phokaia) until the Athenian hegemony that followed the victory over the Persians. In 405 BC the issue of Lampsakos gold staters based on the Persian weight system began. Athens produced the first and only precious metal issues toward the end of the Peloponnesian War, in 407-6 BC, at a time of severe crisis when silver mining in Laurion began to fail and it was forced to melt down the Parthenon's gold statues. Aside from these cases, the first important and massive gold coinage in the Greek context was that of Philip II of Macedon. He minted abundant series of coins in several mints. Having conquered the city of Krenides, where the Thasians had already exploited gold mines, Philip renamed the city Philippi and started the production of philippéioi, gold staters weighing two Attic drachms. Apollo's youthful head appears on the obverse, a galloping chariot on the reverse, types glorifying the Macedonian ruler who had triumphed at the Olympian Games in 356 BC.
