465-450 BC Ancient Greece Gela, Sicily Silver Litra Ancient SNG ANS 58 Grades xf
465-450 BC Ancient Greece Gela, Sicily Silver Litra SNG ANS 58 Ancient Grades xf. Gela was founded around 688 BC by colonists from Rhodes and Crete, 45 years after the founding of Syracuse. Archaeology has shown that they chose to settle on the northern slope of the Molino a Vento extending for more than 400 m towards the west up to Castelluccio. The city was named after the river Gela, the name of which derives from gela, the Sicilian-dialect word for "winter frost". The Greeks established many colonies in Magna Graecia and for many centuries they had a major influence on the area. Gela flourished and the expansionist policy of the tyrants of Gela, in particular Cleander and especially Hippocrates, led to the city founding a series of satellite colonies, including Akragas (Agrigento), and also managed to subdue several cities: Kallipolis (according to some, today's Giarre), Leontini (Lentini), Naxos (Sicily) (Giardini-Naxos) and Zancle (Messina). Only Syracuse, with the help of her former colonizing city Corinth and Corcyra managed to escape.
