Chronology


Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation

  • January 449 BC: In 450 BC Sicel leader Ducetius was defeated by the Greek Poleis of Sicily at Nomae (perhaps in the province of Agrigento) and later at Motyon (near San Cataldo). This caused the collapse of the Confederation of the Sicels.
  • January 452 BC: Agnone conquered by Confederation of the Sicels.
  • January 459 BC: Ducetius, strengthened by the recent military victory and by the Sicilian malcontent for the centuries-old Greek oppression, stood at the head of a Sicilian league practically becoming the King of the Sicilians.
  • January 450 BC: The first coinage of Agyrion is attributed to the mid-5th century BC.
  • January 450 BC: The Hellenization of the city of Henna is evidenced by the minted coin which is of the Greek type as early as the 5th century BC.
