Tyrrhenoi

[coins] [Area VIII map] [Area VIII list]
357-338 BC Etruscan mercenaries. The site of the Tyrrhenoi is near the present 
           Alimena, very close to the settlement of the Sileraioi.
           Maybe prisoners of war Dionysios took with him after the attack on Pyrgi 
           (Harbour of Cerveteri, Caere)
           The high salery Dionysios gave his mercenaries probably made them to 
           overcome the hostility between Etruscans and Syracusans.

339-338 BC The Tyrrhenoi were killed or driven away by Timoleon.
